Spirometric pulmonary function tests resulted as follows: forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), 64%; forced vital capacity (FVC), 57%; FEV1/FVC, 92.3%; not reversible with bronchodilators (Figure 1).
Computed tomographic scans of thorax showed an endobronchial lesion within intermediate bronchus.

We performed computed tomographic (CT) scans of thorax which showed an endobronchial lesion within intermediate bronchus (Figure 2) and fiberoptic bronchoscopy that revealed a well-circumscribed polypoid endobronchial lesion that almost completely obstructed the lumen of the intermediate bronchus (Figure 3).
