“…[ 14 ] In addition, the tumor may not be discovered on thorax radiographs, accordingly, chest CT and bronchoscopy play a crucial role in diagnosis. [ 3 ] Same as described in literatures, our patient whose tumor was detected incidentally by chest CT had a 5-year history of progressive shortness of breath before the definite diagnosis of bronchial pleomorphic adenoma was made.…”

Rationale:Tracheobronchial benign tumors are uncommon; particularly, bronchial pleomorphic adenoma is one of the rarest benign tumors that develop in bronchus (only 7 reported cases, among which only 4 cases of pleomorphic adenoma were seen arising from right main bronchus).Patient concerns:In this report, a 38-year-old woman suffered from progressive shortness of breath for 5 years due to right main bronchial pleomorphic adenoma.Diagnoses:The patient was diagnosed as right main bronchial pleomorphic adenoma based on chest computed tomography enhanced scan, bronchoscopy, and histological examination.Interventions:An electrosurgical snare was performed to resect the neoplasm and several APC were administered at the sites of the resection to provide hemostasis and further coagulate for the residual neoplasm.Outcomes:The patient was free of symptoms and the lumen of right main bronchus was clear during the follow-up period for 10 months without any procedure-related complications.Lessons:Bronchial pleomorphic adenoma is extremely rare, however, we should take it into consideration if a patient suffered from shortness of breath without an exact cause.

“…Relevant literature regarding tracheal and bronchial pleomorphic adenoma was searched from 2000 to 2019, and twenty-eight cases have been reported in total, including 15 males and 13 females. One case of a child under 18 years old was found [5], 3 cases occurred in patients aged 18 to 30 years [6,7], 13 cases occurred in patients aged 31 to 50 years [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], and 11 cases occurred in patients older than 50 years [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Of the 12 cases from foreign countries, 4 were in Japan [17,[28][29][30], 3 were in Turkey [15,18,27], 2 were in South Korea [20,31], 1 was in Malaysia [16], 1 was in Iran [5], and 1 was in Mexico [19].…”

Background Paediatric cases of pleomorphic adenoma of the bronchus are rare in clinical practice, despite pleomorphic adenoma being the most common histological form of salivary gland neoplasm. To date, no such cases have been reported in China. Case presentation We report a case of pleomorphic adenoma of the bronchus in a 10-year-old child with no obvious positive signs on examination. Chest-enhanced computed tomography and bronchoscopy showed a large white mass in the right principal bronchus. The patient was treated by bronchial mass resection. Biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma. Conclusions We not only describe a rare benign bronchial tumour in children but also demonstrate the successful use of surgery as a radical cure for pleomorphic adenoma.

“…This condition is extremely rare. Indeed, to our knowledge there is only one other case report of pulmonary pleomorphic adenoma with a cavitary form of pulmonary tuberculosis in the literature, and no definitive incidence has been recorded [1].…”

“…Because of the lack of early specific symptoms, diagnosis is often delayed, and the condition is usually mistreated as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or bronchial asthma. To our knowledge, there have been only a few cases of tracheal pleomorphic adenoma with coexisting pulmonary tuberculosis reported worldwide (Table 1) [1].…”

Tracheal tumors are rare and difficult to diagnose. Moreover, delays in diagnosis are very common because the symptoms are nonspecific. As a result, tracheal tumors are commonly mistreated as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or bronchial asthma. We report a case of a 49-year-old male who presented with a 3-month history of dyspnea and cough. Chest computed tomography scan showed a 1.5×1.3 cm homogenous tumor originating from the right lateral wall of the tracheobronchial angle into the tracheal lumen as well as a 0.5×0.4 cm round nodular lesion at the right upper lobe with multiple mediastinal lymph nodes enlargement. Bronchoscopic findings revealed a broad-based, polypoid lesion nearly obstructing the airway of the right main bronchus. The patient was diagnosed with pleomorphic adenoma which is the most common benign tumor of the salivary glands, but rarely appears in the trachea. Upon surgery, tracheal pleomorphic adenoma and co-existing active pulmonary tuberculoma that had been mistreated as bronchial asthma over 3 months was revealed. Following surgery, the patient underwent anti-tuberculosis treatment. No recurrence has been detected in the 3 years since treatment and the patient is now asymptomatic.
