Abstract

The hamartoma is the commonest benign tumor of the lung and proved incidentally as asymptomatic coin lesion on routine chest radiologic examination, but has very low incidence, especially in endobronchial origin. The authors experienced a case of coincidental with intrapulmonary and endobronchial hamartoma. The patient, a 60-year-old man, a farmer, was admitted due to coughing and fever. Preoperative diagnosis was achieved by flexible bronchoscopic biopsy and managed by right middle lobectomy. Three lobulated masses were palpable in the right middle lobe. He was discharged on 15th postoperative day, without problem.
