Article Description

Granular cell myoblastoma of the right main bronchus in a 5-year-old girl is reported. The tumor extended to the lower trachea from the right main bronchus which was occluded completely by the tumor. The diagnosis was established histologically by a obtaining bronchoscopic biopsy specimen. Right pneumonectomy was carried out to control pulmonary suppuration caused by the tumor obstruction of the bronchus. External radiotherapy and interstitial brachytherapy were successfull to control the growth of the residual tumor. She has been free from symptoms for about 12 years after the treatment. © 1981 The Japan Surgical Society.
