Abstract
A case of multiple granular cell myoblastomas of the tracheobronchial tree is presented. The patient is well 32 mo. following endobronchial removal. Only 46 cases of solitary and 2 cases of multiple lesions of the tracheobronchial tree have been described in the literature. These lesions occur with equal frequency in men and women; at a median age of 38 yr; more frequently on the right than on the left; and most ommonly with cough as the presenting symptom. Most patients have been treated with major surgical resections, but conservative endobronchial removal may be effective therapy.
