[Pleomorphic adenoma of the bronchus; report of a case].
A 52-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of an abnormal shadow on chest X-ray. Chest computed tomography scan and broncho-fiberscopic examination revealed a tumor at the left main bronchus. The tumor was removed completely by partial resection of the left main bronchus with thoracotomy. Historical finding of the resected specimen revealed a benign pleomorphic adenoma of the bronchus. The postoperative course was un-eventful for 9 years. We reported a rare case of pleomorphic adenoma of the bronchus.
