[A case of solitary bronchial papilloma with elevated serum CEA concentration].
A rare case of solitary bronchial papilloma was reported. A 57-year-old male was admitted to our hospital because of an abnormal shadow on chest X-ray film which was discovered on regular health check up. Bronchoscopic examination revealed a polypoid tumor which obstructed the left B4 bronchus. Serum concentration of CEA was elevated up to 14 ng/ml by Z-GEL method. Left upper lobectomy was performed. On macroscopic examination of the excised specimen, the tumor arose in B4 bronchus and was yellowish white in color and was cauliflower-like in shape sized 3.5 X 1.5 cm. Histopathologically, the tumor consisted of papillary proliferation of stratified squamous epithelium with ciliated columnar epithelial covering. Findings suggestive of inflammation or malignancy were not observed.
