    Abstract:
    A case of endobronchial chondroma in a 74-year-old man with atypical mycobacterial infection is reported. Bronchoscopy was performed in order to exclude the possibility of malignancy. At bronchoscopic examination, a hemispherical polypoid tumor with smooth surface was found at the orifice of left B3 and was removed by transbronchial biopsy forceps. Histologically the tumor was composed of cartilage tissue. About 1 year after forceps resection, no growth of the tumor was seen in the left upper lobe bronchus on bronchoscopic examination. Endobronchial chondroma is relatively rare. We discuss the clinical features of 19 cases of endobronchial chondroma so far reported in Japan, including our case.
