[A case of endobronchial hamartoma]

A case of an endobronchial hamartoma localized in the right basal bronchus is presented. The tumor was ablated bronchoscopically. Due to uncertainty of total excision and coexistence of cirrhotic changes of the right lower lobe surgical removal of the lobe was carried out. Pathological examination of the removed specimen did not disclose any remnants of the hamartoma. During surgery another growth anomaly was discovered--a bilobar right lung.
