ABSTRACT

A 73-year-old male presented with cough. A chest CT showed a mass in the left inferior lobar bronchus. A bronchoscopic examination demonstrated a polypoid white-colored tumor in the left lobar bronchus. A biopsy was performed, and it showed an accumulation of small rounded cells; we diagnosed glomus tumor immunohistochemically. Endoscopic high-frequency electrosurgical snaring and laser therapy were performed, but the tumor was unresectable. Furthermore, he received a left lower sleeve lobectomy, and the postoperative course is uneventful. We herein report this rare case and provide a review of the previous literature.
