Endobronchial Granular Tumor Excision With Bronchial Resection Inclusive of Second Carinoplasty

Bronchial granular cell tumor is a rare tumor. A 39-year-old nonsmoking woman was admitted to our hospital with back pain. Chest computed tomography scan and bronchoscopy revealed a 10-mm endobronchial tumor arising from the membrane near the second carina. The tumor was excised inclusive of the right second carina that contained the extraluminally invaded endobronchial mass and was diagnosed as a granular cell tumor. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was well without signs of recurrence for 3 years of follow-up.
