Abstract

Bronchoscopy was performed in a symptomatic 46 year-old male case of obstructive pneumonia in which bronchogenic carcinoma was suspected. A smooth lobulated pink-tan endobronchial mass measuring one centimeter in diameter was located in the left B^<10>. Subsequently segmentectomy of left S^<10> was performed. Histologically the tumor was composed of only mature cartilage tissue coated with normal bronchial epithelium. Endobronchial chondroma is a rare neoplasm of the tracheobronchial tree and only a few cases have been reported.
