Endobronchial polyp and chronic smoke injury.
نویسنده
چکیده
A case of an inflammatory endobronchial polyp associated with chronic smoke injury is reported. Unlike previously reported cases, this was not associated with acute, severe thermal injury, was solitary in occurrence, and responded rapidly to a short course of intrabronchial steroids.

Giant Endobronchial Inflammatory Polyp
Inflammatory endobronchial polyp is a rare disease mostly encountered in asthmatic patients. Chronic airway and foreign material irritation or thermal injury may result in the formation of granulated tissues and become polypoid mass. Herein, we describe a 52-year-old man with severe respiratory distress and infection with 35 years history of smoking. He had an obstructive pattern in his pulmona...
متن کاملA case of endobronchial polyp mimicking congenital lobar emphysema in an infant
Background: Congenital lobar emphysema, also called infantile lobar emphysema, is a respiratory disease that occurs in infants when air enters the lungs and cannot leave easily. It results from cartilage deficiency and bronchomalacia causing distal air trapping and respiratory distress. In this study, we present a case of endobronchial polyp mimicking congenital lobar emphysema. Case presentati...
متن کاملEndobronchial Lipomatous Polyp: A Rare Benign Tumor of the Lung
Endobronchial lipomatous polyp is a rare nonmalignant tumor of the lung. It comprises 5% of the benign lung tumor, with the majority of benign tumors being hamartoma. Lipomatous polyp often leads to endobronchial lesion, associated with postobstructive pneumonia, hemoptysis, and atelectasis. We hereby present a case and discussion of an elderly man with endobronchial lipomatous polyp, presentin...
متن کاملEndobronchial mass formation after endobronchial ultrasound–transbronchial needle aspiration mimicking implantation metastasis
Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has been widely used for diagnosing intrathoracic lymphadenopathy. Here, we present two cases of endobronchial polyp formation after an EBUS-TBNA for suspicious malignant lymph nodes. An inflammatory polyp should be considered as a possible differential diagnosis for a newly developed mass after an EBUS-TBNA.
متن کاملFibroepithelial Polyp of the Bronchus: CT and Histopathologic Findings
A fibroepithelial polyp of the bronchus is a rare, benign, and endobronchial tumor, histologically consisting of fibrovascular stroma covered by normal respiratory epithelium. We report a case of a fibroepithelial polyp arising from the left main bronchus. On CT, a characteristic lobulating contour of the endobronchial nodule was well visualized, which histopathologically represented a typical ...
