Papilloma of the upper respiratory tract, particularly larynx and vocal cords are relatively common disease. However, solitary papilloma of the bronchus is extremely rare condition and only a handful cases were reported in the literature.
The patient is a 39 years old housewife who has been suffering from productive cough and occasional hemoptysis in the past one year. X-ray of the chest showed complete atelectasis of the right upper lobe. Bronchography revealed a hemispherical protruding mass in the right main bronchus with complete occlusion of the upper lobe bronchus. Bronchoscopy showed a whitish friable mass in the lumen of the right main bronchus biopsy of which was reported as benign papilloma.
Right upper lobectomy together with wedge resection of the portion of right main bronchus to include the tumor was done. Cut edges of the bronchus were stitched together with interrupted fine dacron sutures. During this procedure, right main bronchus was gently clamped with non-crushing Satinsky type clamp.
