A retrospective review of 26 cases of bronchial adenoma is presented, with an analysis of symptoms, X‐ray and bronchoscopic findings, surgical management, pathology aid postoperative course. Twenty‐two patients are known to be alive and well, with no clinical or radiological evidence of recurrence at review six months to 18 years after operation. This review supports the previously recognized opinion that resection by thoracotomy is the treatment of choice and that this resection should be as conservative as possible. The long‐term results of even the most conservative operative procedures are satisfactory.
