[Endobronchial granular myoblastoma: therapeutic stance]

The case of a 34-year-old diabetic patient with an endobronchial granular myoblastoma is presented. This tumor was discovered during an episode of acute pneumonia on the same side as the neoplasm. Endobronchial granular myoblastoma is rare; it is sometimes multiple, with some degree of mucosal infiltration. The treatment (monitoring only, endoscopic or surgical resection) is not clearly defined in the literature: we suggest a therapeutic approach taking into account the characteristic features of the tumor (size, location and number) and of the patient (other diseases, age).
