A case of endobronchial chondroma in a 74-year-old man with atypical mycobacterial infection is reported. Bronchoscopy was performed in order to exclude the possibility of malignancy. At bronchoscopic examination, a hemispherical polypoid tumor with smooth surface was found at the orifice of left B3 and was removed by transbronchial biopsy forceps. Histologically the tumor was composed of cartilage tissue. About 1 year after forceps resection, no growth of the tumor was seen in the left upper lobe bronchus on bronchoscopic examination. Endobronchial chondroma is relatively rare. We discuss the clinical features of 19 cases of endobronchial chondroma so far reported in Japan, including our case.
报告了一例74岁男性支气管内软骨瘤合并非典型分枝杆菌感染的病例。为排除恶性肿瘤的可能性,进行了支气管镜检查。在支气管镜检查时,在左B3开口处发现一个表面光滑的半球形息肉样肿瘤,并通过经支气管活检钳将其切除。组织学检查显示肿瘤由软骨组织构成。钳夹切除约1年后,支气管镜检查发现左上叶支气管内未见肿瘤生长。支气管内软骨瘤相对罕见。我们讨论了日本迄今报道的19例支气管内软骨瘤的临床特征,包括我们的病例。
