ABSTRACT
The patient was a 63-year-old man referred to our hospital because of a right hilar mass lesion on chest radiograph in September 2012. Thoracic CT showed a nodular lesion at right S3 and a peripheral branching shadow, which was suspected of being a mucoid impaction (so-called finger-in-glove sign). Bronchoscopic findings revealed a polypoid tumor at the orifice of a right B3. We diagnosed as bronchial papilloma with transbronchial biopsy, and a right upper lobectomy was performed. A definitive diagnosis of a solitary bronchial columnar papilloma was made with a detailed histological examination. Although a solitary bronchial papilloma is very rare, it is necessary to consider this disease as one of differential diagnoses showing finger-in-glove sign.
