Abstract
- Pulmonary hamartoma is a common benign tumor of the lung, but endobronchial hamartoma is a rare tumor. Although bronchoscopic rcemoval or removal by bronchotomy or sleeve resection with preservation of the lung may be possible, when irreversible lung damage has occurred because of chronic obstruction and pneumonitis, pulmonary resection may be indicated. We herein report a case of endobronchial hamartoma which was treated by left upper lobectomy. A 42-year-old female with 3-week history of cough and left chest pain visited our hospital. Bronchoscopy showed total occlusion of the orifice of the left upper lobe bronchus by a lobulated endobronchial tumor and bronchoscopic biopsy was failed due to bleeding. A left upper lobectomy was performed because of severe consolidation of the left upper lobe by chronic obstruction. The patient was discharged on postoperative 14th day.
