Bronchoscopy revealed a smooth, firm, rubbery polypoid lesion. Tissue sampling included fine\u2010needle aspiration of the endobronchial mass and EBUS\u2010TBNA of nodal stations (7, 11Ri and 11\u2009L). Histology showed fibromatous tissue without atypia; lymph nodes exhibited inflammatory changes. The lesion was fully removed via rigid bronchoscopy with forceps and laser, leading to symptom relief and planned radiological follow\u2010up. We propose a stepwise evaluation pathway for endobronchial tumours when lymphadenopathy is present, highlight pathology features that distinguish fibroma from malignant and benign mimickers and outline practical considerations for bronchoscopic resection.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In patients with concurrent endobronchial mass and lymphadenopathy, a targeted approach using EBUS\u2010TBNA can exclude nodal metastasis and support definitive, minimally invasive treatment, potentially avoiding unnecessary surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1155\/crpu\/8730962","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,2]],"date-time":"2026-06-02T09:57:41Z","timestamp":1780394261000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Benign Bronchial Tumours: A Rare Case of Endobronchial Fibroma With Hilar\u2013Mediastinal Lymphadenopathy"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"given":"Giuseppina","family":"Marrazzo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Teresa","family":"Ferrazzo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Failla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesco Giuseppe","family":"Tropea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicola","family":"Montenegro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gianluca","family":"Ippolito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fabio Alfredo","family":"Nania","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlo","family":"Gentile","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Annamaria","family":"Lavecchia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4236-7367","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Corrado","family":"Pelaia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Girolamo","family":"Pelaia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.44.5.498"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5858\/arpa.2012-0233-RA"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3892\/ol.2016.4726"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_2","first-page":"673","article-title":"A Case of Endobronchial Fibroma Associated With Recurrent pneumonia","volume":"30","author":"Nakajima M.","year":"1992","journal-title":"Japanese Journal of Thoracic Diseases"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_2","first-page":"27","article-title":"The Excision of a Benign Tumor of the Bronchus During Bronchoscopy","volume":"5","author":"Sokur P.
