“…The overwhelming majority of cases reported to date describe solitary lesions that apparently occurred in a major bronchus without associated tracheobronchial or pulmonary disease [1,2], sometimes in relation to retained endobronchial foreign bodies [3,4] or previous surgical treatment [5]. Removal of the foreign body or inhalation of corticosteroids appear to be successful therapeutic options.…”

Inflammatory endobronchial polyposis with bronchiectasis in cystic fibrosis

An unusual case of endobronchial polyposis associated with extensive bronchiectasis in the context of cystic fibrosis (CF) has been described.A 15-yr-old female patient with CF underwent partial pneumonectomy for extensive bronchiectasis and frequent infective pulmonary exacerbations.Cylindrical bronchiectasis with associated purulent bronchitis and bronchiolitis, together with inflammatory polyposis, was noted in the resected lung.To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of multiple endobronchial polyposis and may represent a rare complication of bronchiectasis in a patient with cystic fibrosis. On-going infection and the cellular composition of the polyps are discussed in relation to their possible aetiological relevance and relationship to upper respiratory tract polyps.

“…Inflammatory bronchial polyps (IBP) may follow various conditions, such as chronic bronchial infection [1], aspiration of foreign bodies [2,3], and inhalation injury [4,5]. We experienced a rare case of IBP associated with asthma [6,7], which totally disappeared after one year of inhaled beclomethasone dipropionate.…”

“…The thoracotomy was performed in a case where a pedunculated giant bronchial polyp of the right upper lobe suddenly prolapsed into the opposite main bronchus [8]. Bronchoscopic excision has proved successful for treating cases of polyp or polyposis by foreign bodies [3,9], Three cases of inflammatory polyps were resolved by ste roid therapy; these were associated with foreign bodies [4], chronic smoke injury [10] and asthma [II]. Endobron chial polyposis secondary to thermal inhalation injury was improved by a combination of antibiotics and steroids [2].…”

“…Inflammatory endotracheobronchial polyps arc rarely encountered lesions which arise in chronically inflamed bronchial mucosa [1], They are thought to be caused by some sort of irritation, bacterial infection [1,2], foreign bodies [3,4], inhalation of hot and corrosive gases [2,5], or broncholithiasis [3]. We report a case of asymptomatic en dotracheal polyp without any of these presumed etiolo gies.…”

We describe a rare case of asymptomatic inflammatory endotracheal polyp resolved by antibiotic treatment. Histological examination of biopsy specimens showed an inflammatory polyp consisting of fibrovascular stroma and sparse lymphocyte infiltration. The size of the polyp was unchanged during 3 months without any treatment and its etiology was unclear. Although a bacterial organism was never proven, the polyp decreased remarkably under treatment with an oral antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) and did not recur for 6 months. Antibiotic treatment may be of value for inflammatory tracheobronchial polyps in cases of unclear etiology.
