Abstract

Inflammatory pseudotumor or pulmonary fibroxanthoma is a less frequent tumor. Endobronchial lesion is an unusual event characterized by being a mesenchymatous tumor lack of typical clinical expression, with common symptoms in other diseases without pathognomonic clinical signs that describe it; diagnosis is usually histological and histochemical analysis of biopsy. The fibroxanthoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis in mesenchymal tumors; they are needed a complete analytical and radiological clinical studies before defining the therapeutic behavior.
