ABSTRACT
We report a very unusual case of endobronchial involvement of eosinophilic inflammation. A 58-year-old woman visited our clinic complaining of cough. A chest computed tomography scan showed a poorly enhancing mass compressing both main bronchi in the subcarinal area. Bronchoscopy also showed stenosis of the two main bronchi with irregular mucosal thickening. A bronchoscopic endobronchial mucosal biopsy revealed eosinophilic inflammation without evidence of malignancy. The subcarinal mass disappeared after systemic steroid treatment. This is the first report of mass-forming eosinophilic infiltration involving the central airway mimicking primary lung cancer.
