Abstract
|
|
|
Bronchial adenoma constitute about 1.2% all primary cancers of the lung, and is a
slow growing, highly vascular tumor frequently located in the larger bronchi or trachea.
Bronchial adenoma must be differentiated from typical epidermoid and adenocarcinoma
because of the marked diffence in their clinical course arid prognosis. There are three
types of bronchial adeuoms : the carcinoid which is the most common and has a good
prognosis if properly treated, the cylindroma which is a malignant with uncertain
prognosis but which may grow slowly over a period of years, and the mucoepidermoid
which is uncommon and usually does not recur after adequate removal. Bronchial
adenoma occurs rather frequently in female than in male, and the majority of them
attacked in between 1st and 3rd decades. The most common complaints were
hemoptysis, cough, blood tinged sputum, recurrent pneumonitis, and dyspnea. And
occasionally chest pain, wheezing, pleuritis, and bronchitismay be noted.
We have had an experience of bronchial adenoma which was cylindromatous type.
The diagnosis was proved by means of bronchial biopsy and surgery.
The 47 year-old male have been suffered from mild exertional dyspnea, cough, blood
tinged sputum and recurrent pneumonitis for 11 months. On admission atelectasis was
noted on left entire lung field.
Bronchoscopy revealed that tao left main bronchus was obstructed completely by
intrabronchial mass. The mass was lobulated, global, smooth surfaced and easily bled on
touch.
