Endobronchial polyp and chronic smoke injury.

R E Smith 1
PMCID: PMC2429835  PMID: 2616409

Abstract

A case of an inflammatory endobronchial polyp associated with chronic smoke injury is reported. Unlike previously reported cases, this was not associated with acute, severe thermal injury, was solitary in occurrence, and responded rapidly to a short course of intrabronchial steroids.
