Abstract:
Hamartoma is rare but the most common benign neoplasm in the lung. However endobronchial lipomatous hamartoma has been rarely reported. A 73-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital due to hemoptysis 1 month prior to admission. On bronchoscopic examination, a large pedunculated endobronchial mass right upper lobar bronchus. The endobronchial mass was enucleated by bronchotomy that is no evidence of malignancy in frozen specimens. We report a case of endobronchial lipomartous hamartoma which was resected by bronchotomy.
