Endobronchial fibrosarcoma presenting as recurrent left‐sided pneumonia

We report a 6‐year old girl with recurrent and non‐resolving left‐sided “pneumonia” over a 3‐year period who was diagnosed with an endobronchial low‐grade fibrosarcoma. This highlights the importance of considering underlying localized airway obstruction in any case of clinically or radiologically a...
