Benign endobronchial tumors are rare diseases with an incidenced of between 1 and 5% of all Jung tumors. An endobronchial fibroepithelial polyp is an extremely rare form of benign bronchial tumor. Clinically, an endobronchial fibroepithelial polyp causes an airway obstruction and obstructive pneumonitis as does other endobronchial tumors. Therefore, it is important to differentiate an endobronchial fibroepithelial polyp pathologically from other benign endobronchial tumors and bronchogenic carcinomas. Here, we report a case of an endobronchial fibroepithelial polyp, in a 25-year-old man who had suffered from chest discomfort upon deep breathing 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.
