We report a six year old girl with recurrent and non-resolving left-sided 'pneumonia' over a three year period who was diagnosed with an endobronchial low-grade fibrosarcoma. This highlights the importance of considering underlying localised airway obstruction in any case of clinically or radiologically atypical pneumonia in a child and therefore the need for careful follow-up of all but the most typical cases.
