Abstract
A case of postinflammatory pseudotumor is reported. A 35-year-old woman was admitted to Higashisaga National Sanatorium Hospital with a small amount of hemoptysis. There was a nodular shadow in the left S^6 on her chest X-ray on admission. The nodular shadow was 2.5×2.0 cm in size. Phsical examination and laboratory data revealed no significant findings. Endoscopic examiantion showed a polyp in the orifice of left B^6. The surface of the polyp was smooth and lustrous. We found bleeding from the bronchial mucosa around the polyp. Bronchography revealed no left B^6 bronchus. Left lower lobectomy was performed without pleural adhesion or lymph node swelling. The case was histologically diagnosed as a postinflammatory pseudotumor. We suggest that the postinflammatory pseudotumor appearing as a ployp on bronchoscopy is very rare.
