Abstract

An 81-year-old man underwent bronchoscopy to investigate the cause of his dyspnea symptoms. A benign natured mass was observed in the bronchus and was excised. The pathology examination revealed a fibroepithelial polyp. He has been asymptomatic since the simple bronchoscopic excision. A fibroepithelial polyp is a benign tumor with a mesodermal origin. It is commonly found in the skin, urogenital area and chest, but is extremely rare in the respiratory system. We report a case of a fibroepithelial polyp in the bronchus, which was treated with a bronchoscopic excision, with a brief review of the relevant literature.

섬유상피성 용종은 중배엽성 기원의 양성 종양으로, 기관지 내에 생기는 경우는 매우 드물다. 또한 이 종괴는 악성화 가능성이 거의 없어, 최소한의 내시경적 절제술이 치료법으로 추천된다. 기관지내 종괴의 감별 진단에 양성의 섬유상피성 용종이 포함될 수 있음을 염두에 두어 불필요한 외과적 광범위 절제를 방지해야겠다.
