Terms & Conditions of Use

A rare endobronchial hamartoma was diagnosed in a child presenting with chronic cough. Surgical removal was successful, highlighting the importance of considering this benign tumor in pediatric respiratory cases.

Area of Science:

Pediatric Pulmonology
Thoracic Surgery
Pathology

Background:

Endobronchial hamartomas are rare benign tumors, often presenting with nonspecific respiratory symptoms in children.
Chronic cough can be the sole presenting symptom, necessitating thorough diagnostic evaluation.

Observation:

A 7-year-old child presented with chronic cough and left lung opacity on chest radiography.
Rigid bronchoscopy revealed a smooth, white-yellowish mass obstructing the left main bronchus.

Findings:

Histopathological analysis confirmed the mass as a hamartoma.
Surgical enucleation via thoracotomy and bronchotomy was performed successfully.

Implications:

This case underscores the importance of considering endobronchial hamartoma in the differential diagnosis of pediatric respiratory symptoms.
