Ann Thorac Surg. 2002 Apr;73(4):1286-7. doi: 10.1016/s0003-4975(01)03115-0.

Abstract

Benign tumors of the tracheobronchial tree are extremely rare. A case of a benign inflammatory endotracheal polyp and literature review are presented, including classification and treatment options. Although rare, these lesions must be efficiently diagnosed and expeditiously removed to prevent airway occlusion or irreversible pulmonary disease.
