In the three years 1959 to 1962, 16 cases of "benign" bronchopulmonary tumor have been seen at this center. Of these, half were adenomas of the carcinoid type, of which one had local metastases and required pneumonectomy; the rest were treated more conservatively. Of the remainder, five were bronchiomas or hamartomas (one endobronchial, the rest peripheral) and there was one case each of fibroma, arteriovenous angioma and neurinoma. The neurinoma has been discussed in some detail due to its rarity.
