Abstract

A 49-year-old man had showed an abnormal shadow on a chest X-ray. Bronchofiberscopy revealed a string-like scar lesion in membranous portion of right truncus intermedius. A histopathological diagnosis of benignbronchial neurinoma was made by transbronchial biopsy. Only 13 documented cases have been reported in Japanese literature. Unlike the usual bronchial neurinoma, which grows like a polyp or dumbbell, the tumor extended into the bronchial mucosa, and resembled a string-like scar.
