Abstract EN
A young adult presented with a four-month long history of hemoptysis.
A computed tomography (CT) scan showed a mid-trachea lesion (Figure 1).
A flexible bronchoscopy was performed and revealed a cherry-like polyp (Figure 2(a)) and biopsy resulted in brisk bleeding.
The polyp was coagulated at the base with a Nd-YAG (neodymium doped-yttrium aluminium garnet) laser followed by forceps resection via the rigid bronchoscope (Video).
Histology of the 8 mm by 10 mm lesion was classic of a lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) (Figure 3).
The patient had been asymptomatic since and bronchoscopy performed two years later showed no tumor recurrence (Figure 2(b)).
