Abstract
A 78-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with dysarthria due to a transient cerebral ischemic attack (TIA). A chest X-ray film on admission revealed organizing pneumonia in the right upper lobe. Subsequent bronchoscopic examination revealed a granulomatous polyp in the trachea. Pathological findings of the biopsied specimen revealed that it had been caused by inflammation. Bronchoscopy revealed that 11-month of beclomethasone dipropionate inhalation therapy 800μg/day had no effect. We performed high frequency current snare polypectomy and subsequent Nd-YAG laser therapy because it was difficult to distinguish from a malignant tumor. We conclude that the combination of high frequency current polypectomy and Nd-YAG laser therapy may be useful for tracheal polyps.
