Dear Editor,
Benign tracheobronchial tumors account for only 1.9% of pulmonary tumors1 and airway fibroepithelial polyps are even rarer.
The authors describe a case of a 73-year-old man, former smoker, that presented with dry cough lasting several weeks. There was no previously known history of asthma, chronic obstructive lung disease, sinusitis, rhinitis, bronchiectasis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, cardiac, respiratory infections or other respiratory conditions. In addition, the patient was not taking any previous medicines and lung function tests were normal.
