AbstractPulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma (PSP) is a rare, benign tumor. Given the challenges of a bronchoscopic diagnosis, surgery is performed during the early stages of the disease. Therefore, little is known about the growth pattern of PSP. This case of PSP was not diagnosed despite bronchoscopy, resulting in lung resection eight years after the anomaly was first identified on computed tomography (CT). This report compares the long-term follow-up of CT and pathological findings and discusses the difficulty in making a diagnosis using a bronchoscopic forceps biopsy to aid in future PSP diagnoses and treatment planning.
