We report herein the rare case of an 8-year-old boy in whom an inflammatory pseudotumor of the upper lobe bronchus of the right lung was successfully treated by bronchoplasty. A bronchoscopy was initially performed to investigate the cause of pulmonary atelectasis in the right upper lobe, which revealed a tumor in the right main bronchus. Thus, a thoracotomy followed by bronchotomy of the right main bronchus was carried out. The tumor was seen to have polypoid protrusion into the right main bronchus at the orifice of the upper lobe. A bronchoplasty with a wedge resection of the right main bronchus and right upper lobectomy was carried out, effectively preserving right pulmonary function. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of an inflammatory pseudotumor. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and has been free of recurrence for 3 years since his operation.
