title: [A case of solitary bronchial papilloma and a review of the literature].
abstract: A case of solitary bronchial papilloma which is one of the rarest of pulmonary benign tumors is reported. A 25-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with an abnormal chest shadow. Bronchoscopy revealed a tumor at the orifice of left B6. The biopsy specimen of the tumor was diagnosed as a papilloma. Left S6 sleeve segmentectomy was performed to preserve lung function. The tumor was like a cauliflower and 4 x 4 x 4 cm in size. The histological diagnosis was bronchial papilloma. Since there are some reported cases of solitary bronchial papilloma with carcinoma in situ, such cases must be treated surgically when possible.
