“…23,24 Pneumonectomy and lobectomy should also be done for tumors associated with profound destruction of the distal lung tissue. 5,23 In our patient, there was complete obstruction of the bronchus intermedius, and atelectasis of both right middle and right lower lobes. Removal of these two lobes was undertaken because of the bronchiectatic changes distal to the obstruction.…”

Persistent atelectasis and recurrent pneumonia in the same location should raise suspicion of congenital anomalies or obstructing lesions of the bronchus leading to the affected area. We present an 8-year-old black female with a history of recurrent fever, cough, atelectasis of the right middle and lower lobes, and weight loss for several months. Flexible bronchoscopy revealed a polypoid mass obstructing the bronchus intermedius. Biopsy of the neoplasm demonstrated a granular cell tumor (GCT). The patient had a lobectomy of the right lower and middle lobes. She had no recurrence of the tumor after several years of follow-up.

“…Most pulmonary GCTs are endobronchial, but sometimes, they can be located peripherally [6]. Pulmonary GCTs can be associated with synchronous extrapulmonary GCTs occurring in various organs, such as the tongue, kidney, or esophagus [1].…”

We report a rare case of granular cell tumor arising in the left lower lobe (LLL) bronchus with secondary obstructive change in a 60-year-old male. The patient was found to have a nodule in the LLL on a computed tomography scan, three months prior to his presentation to the Asan Medical Center. Bronchoscopic biopsies revealed a granular cell tumor. After undergoing LLL lobectomy with bronchoplasty, the patient has not experienced any tumor recurrence.

“…Surgical resection appears to be the treatment of choice when there is evidence of extensive destruction of the pulmonary parenchyma caused by chronic bronchial obstruction, and it is considered to be definitive. 3,12 Other factors to be considered while deciding the therapy is the size of the tumor. Daniel et al 13 recommend surgical resection when it is larger than 8 mm because it is more likely to invade the bronchial wall and infiltrate the peribronchial tissue, whereas they suggest local endoscopic resection for smaller tumors.…”

The granular cell tumor grows slowly and usually involves the tongue, esophagus, breast, subcutaneous cell tissue, and skin. Granular cell tumor (GCT) of the tracheobronchial tree is uncommon and involvement of multiple sites even rarer. We describe a case of bilateral bronchial GCT and its recurrence in the lobectomy stump; the latter characteristic has not been previously described. At present, there is no consensus about the therapeutic management of GCT, and it varies from mere observation to bronchoscopic interventions and even surgical resection. In our patient, recurrence of the tumor suture line supports the notion that, as yet, GCT should be managed conservatively. Surgical resection should be reserved for the symptomatic patients who fail to respond to endobronchial intervention.
