Abstract
Fibrous histiocytomas are uncommon pulmonary tumors. They generally in volve only the lung parenchyma. Endobronchial involvement is extremely rare. Usually, surgical resection of the mass is required for definit ive diagnosis and therapy. We report a case of benign atypical fibrous histiocytoma visualized during fiberoptic bronchoscopy and review the clinical findings and pathologic features of this tumor.
