| Core Tip |
Endobronchial chondroma is an exceptionally rare benign airway tumor that may present with recurrent pneumonia due to bronchial obstruction. Because clinical and radiologic findings can mimic common respiratory conditions, delayed diagnosis is frequent. This case highlights the importance of considering endobronchial tumors in patients with recurrent pneumonia affecting the same lobe and emphasizes the role of bronchoscopy and histopathological examination in establishing a definitive diagnosis. Early recognition and complete excision are crucial to prevent irreversible pulmonary damage. |
