title: [A case of inflammatory bronchial polyp associated with pulmonary and bronchial tuberculosis].
abstract: A 67-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of cough and sputum. Chest X-ray revealed cavity and consolidation in the right upper lobe. Microscopical examination of stained specimens of sputum disclosed acid-fast bacilli (Mycobacterium tuberculosis). Cough and sputum resolved and cultures of sputum did not yield M. tuberculosis a month after administration of antituberculosis agents. However, a mass shadow in the right upper lobe was found 3 months later. Bronchofiberscopy revealed a polyp with a stalk at the orifice of right upper bronchus, which was elastic, soft in consistency, smooth surfaced, and movable. The pathological findings of the polyp showed non-specific inflammatory granulation which suggested to be inflammatory bronchial polyp. It was appeared in the healing process of bronchial tuberculosis.
