Abstract

A 43-year-old woman had suffered from cough and hemosputum for a year, and was hospitalized because of dyspnea. Chest computed tomography showed a tumor shadow in the trachea. Bronchoscopic examination revealed a peduncular tumor at the same site. It was diagnosed as a fibroepithelial polyp based on transbronchial biopsy findings. She was referred to our hospital for treatment. Brochoscopic resection using Nd:YAG laser was performed, and the postoperative course was uneventful. Her respiratory symptoms resolved postoperatively.
