Bronchial adenoma--an eleven-year experience.

Thirteen patients with bronchial adenoma were investigated. Most of these were young males and had recurrent hemoptysis and chest infection. Radiographs of the chest were abnormal in 11 patients. The tumor was visualized by fiberoptic bronchoscopy in all but one patient. The procedure was safe and none of the patients had massive hemoptysis following bronchoscopic biopsy. Limited follow-up revealed good results following surgery.
