Bronchial Compression

Respiratory symptoms in acyanotic congenital cardiac disease may result from several factors, including cardiac failure and bronchial obstruction. Significant bronchial compression by hypertensive pulmonary arteries and, in some cases, the left atrium, also may occur. Sites of predilection are the left main bronchus and the left upper and right middle bronchi. The latter two sites correlate with distribution of lobar emphysema in acyanotic congenital cardiac disease.

Rare Neoplasm

We report the case of a glomus tumor originating in the left main bronchus diagnosed in a 79 year old Caucasian man. A glomus tumor is an extremely rare neoplasm in the bronchi with nonspecific clinical features. Bronchoscopy allows the diagnosis through biopsy and subsequent histopathological examination of the tissue and in selected cases may represent a valid alternative to surgery permitting a radical tumor excision.
