Inflammatory endobronchial polyps (IEPs) are rare, benign bronchial tumors posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges owing to limited data. A 55-year-old man, receiving treatment for allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, presented with a one-week history of fever and purulent sputum. Diagnosed with pneumonia, he received antimicrobial treatment. However, because of persistent symptoms, an endobronchial tumor was suspected on computed tomography. IEP was confirmed through flexible bronchoscopy with forceps biopsy, and polyp removal improved symptoms, lung function, and imaging.
