“…Multiplanar and 3D imaging of the central airways is often useful for demonstrating polypoid lesions in the trachea or bronchus. Bronchoscopy usually shows 3 to 100 mm mobile and pedunculated polypoid masses protruding from the bronchial wall (nonspecific, mostly seen above the segmental bronchus) (2,3,5,8,11).…”

Fibroepithelial polyps of the bronchus are uncommon. We herein report a rare case of a recurrent bronchial fibroepithelial polyp. A 61-year-old man was admitted to the hospital due to recurrent pneumonia. Chest computed tomography showed consolidation and atelectasis in the right lower lobe. Bronchoscopy revealed a mobile polypoid tumor protruding from the right lower lobe bronchus. We performed endobronchial resection, and a pathological examination revealed a fibroepithelial polyp. However, surveillance bronchoscopy performed six months after tumor resection detected a relapse. We herein report a case of a recurrent bronchial fibroepithelial polyp and also review the relevant literature.

“…There is a hypothesis that fibroepithelial polyps in the respiratory tract are a type of inflammatory polyp related to a form of underlying irritation or an inflammatory process such as smoke inhalation, COPD, bronchial asthma, or chronic infection [1,4]. In our case, there was long-term cigarette smoke exposure and infection.…”

“…We removed the fibroepithelial polyp endoscopically with an electrocautery snare, as has been described by other authors [1][2][3][4][5]. In addition we used argon plasma coagulation at the resection site, as was used in a case described by Ushiki A and co-authors [4].…”

Baublio g. 5, LT-08406Vilnius, Lietuva El. paštas: sigitas.zaremba@nvi.lt BackgroundBenign fibroepithelial polyps of respiratory tract are very rare. Case reportA 42-year-old man was admitted to our hospital suffering from cough and dyspnea. The CT scan of the thorax revealed a round, smooth tumor in the middle part of the trachea. The tumor was successfully removed endoscopically using an electrocautery snare. The postoperative period was uneventful; patient's condition was perfect. Histology showed a fibroepithelial polyp -a rare benign lesion of the trachea. ConclusionsEndobronchial electrosurgery is a safe and effective treatment method. Clinicians should always consider the possibility of tracheobronchial tumors. Key words: fibroepithelial polyp, trachea, endobronchial electrosurgery, bronchoscopy ĮvadasGerybiniai kvėpavimo takų fibroepiteliniai polipai yra labai reti. Klinikinis atvejisKeturiasdešimt dvejų metų vyras atvyko į ligoninę skųsdamasis kosuliu ir dusuliu. Atlikus kompiuterinę krūtinės ląstos tomografiją, nustatytas apvalus, lygus navikas vidurinėje trachėjos dalyje. Navikas sėkmingai pašalintas endoskopiškai, naudojant elektrokoaguliacijos kilpą. Pooperacinis laikotarpis buvo sklandus, ligonio būklė puiki. Histologinio tyrimo išvada -fibroepitelinis polipas -reta gerybinė trachėjos liga. Išvados Endobronchinė elektrochirurgija yra saugus ir veiksmingas gydymo metodas. Gydytojai visada turėtų įtarti tracheobronchinio naviko galimybę.Reikšminiai žodžiai: fibroepitelinis polipas, trachėja, endobronchinė elektrochirurgija, bronchoskopija 105

Context: Bronchial fibroepithelial polyp is a very rare benign endobronchial tumor. Typically, it is a slow growing lesion, and the differential diagnosis includes other benign and malignant endobronchial tumors. Case Report: We report a case of a 75-year-old female who complained of intermittent productive cough. Computed tomography of the thorax showed a solid nodule with lobulated contours in the right main bronchus and subtotal atelectasis of the right lower lobe. Bronchoscopy with biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of a bronchial fibroepithelial polyp. Conclusion: This case is illustrative and demonstrates the importance of imaging methods and of histopathological correlation for the accurate diagnosis of this benign treatable lesion.
