Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Endobronchial hamartomas are rare benign tumors originating from the bronchial wall.
  • Fewer than 70 cases have been documented in English medical literature.
  • Diagnosis often relies on imaging and biopsy, with surgical resection being the definitive treatment.

Observation:

  • A case of endobronchial hamartoma is presented.
  • The lesion was located within the bronchus, causing potential airway obstruction.
  • The patient presented with symptoms necessitating intervention.

Findings:

  • The hamartoma was successfully removed via bronchoscopic excision.
  • This minimally invasive approach facilitated complete tumor resection.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of hamartoma.

Implications:

  • Bronchoscopic excision is a viable and effective treatment for endobronchial hamartomas.
  • This case contributes to the understanding and management of rare airway tumors.
  • Minimally invasive techniques offer a promising alternative for selected patients.
