Solitary bronchial papillomas are rare endobronchial neoplasms. The authors reported two cases of solitary bronchial papilloma. One case was a 68-year-old male who presented with recurrent cough and fever. Bronchofiberscopy revealed a polypoid lesion with a smooth surface located at the orifice of the left lower lobe bronchus. Transbronchial biopsy revealed a transitional papilloma, and left lower lobectomy was performed. The other case was a 64-year-old male who presented with cough and bloody sputum. Bronchofiberscopy revealed a polypoid lesion with a granular surface located at the orifice of right B^<1+3>. Transbronchial biopsy revealed a squamous cell papilloma. Subsequent follow-up revealed no further changes were recognized.
