[Three cases of endobronchial hamartoma]

We reported three cases of endobronchial hamartoma. There were some difficulties in diagnosis of the disease by bronchoscopic examination, because the tumors were covered with normal bronchial epithelium. But X ray film and CT film contributed to the diagnosis when calcification of intra-bronchial tumor was observed. Three different modes of operation were performed as extirpation of tumor by wedge resection of upper lobe bronchus, sleeve resection of left S6 segmental bronchus, and right middle lobectomy.
