Respiration. 2001;68(1):95-8. doi: 10.1159/000050471.

Abstract

A 48-year-old man was admitted because of bloody sputum in whom a chest computed tomography (CT) scan and fiberoptic bronchoscopy demonstrated a polypoid tumor in the left main bronchus. The tumor was surgically resected, and the pathological and immunohistochemical findings led to diagnosis of the tumor as a bronchial glomus tumor.
