AB Glomus tumor is a rare predominantly benign soft tissue tumor. Lower respiratory tract is an uncommon site of origin of glomus tumor and hence endobronchial glomus tumor is extremely rare. This is mostly benign and identified incidentally on imaging. Diagnosis is confirmed by immunohistochemical staining and resection is the treatment of choice. We report a middle age female with endobronchial glomus tumor which is 23rd case of reported pulmonary glomus tumor to the best of our knowledge.
