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.

“…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 bronchi are rare with only a few case reports in the English literature [6] [7]. According to these case reports, it manifests as an endobronchial polypoid nodule that is covered with normal respiratory mucosa, consisting of fibrovascular stroma with or without few inflammatory cells and adipocytic components [6] [7].…”

“…Some reports have classified fibroepithelial polyps as inflammatory, while others have argued that the inflammation is a result of the intermittent respiratory tract obstruction caused by its mass effect [7]. Other studies show that the pathogenesis of this lesion is unknown, although chronic bronchial stimulation by several agents (e.g.…”

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.

“…An endobronchial location was observed by BORCZUK [2] in only 6% of these tumours. Very few cases of fibroepithelial polyps have been described in the literature [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The aetiology of fibroepithelial polyps is unknown.…”

A 39-yr-old female patient who never smoked suffered from chronic dry cough and progressive exercise-induced dyspnoea over a period of 18 months. In 2007, lung volumes were normal, but there was moderate bronchial hyperreactivity as assessed by bronchoprovocation with methacholine. There was a drop in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) of 22% predicted following administration of 0.2 mg methacholine. A diagnosis of asthma was made and the patient was treated with inhaled budesonide combined with formoterol. 1 yr later the patient suffered from an exacerbation of symptoms and was prescribed oral corticosteroids for 2 weeks. A chest radiograph did not show any pathological abnormalities. There was no recovery and the patient was admitted to our outpatient clinic. Physical examination revealed inspiratory rhonchi on the right side.
