Abstract

A 65-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with bloody sputum. A chest X-ray film and chest CT scan showed no abnormality. Bronchofiberscopy revealed a rough-surfaced polypoid lesion about 4 mm in diameter in the trachea. Pathological and cytological finding of the biopsied specimen revealed inflammatory granulation tissue. Bronchoscopy after 1 week revealed no change and the biopsied specimen revealed no malignancy. The polypoid wasidentified microscopically as inflammatory polyo of the trachea and antibiotic treatment was started. Bronchoscopy after 2 month showed complete disappearance of the polypoid lesion.
