Abstract:
Hemoptysis is rarely the inaugural sign of endobronchial hamartoma. Abundance may range from moderate to massive, and may be life-threatening. We report the case of a 44-year-old woman who was referred to our center with moderate and persistent hemoptysis. A left upper lobe lobectomy was performed. We discuss the therapeutic options in such cases.
