Abstract
In comparison to parenchymal hamartoma, endobronchial hamartoma is rare benign neoplasm of the lung. Most parenchymal hamariomas are asymptomatic and are found incidentally. However, endobronchial hamartomas are frequently discovered through respiratory symptoms as a result of bronchial irritation or obstruction. A 47-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital due to dry cough f month prior to admission. On bronchoscopic examination, a polypoid mass was found completely obliterating the anterior segmental bronchus of the left upper lobe. We report a case of endobronchial chondroid hamartoma, which was resected by anterior segmentectomy of the left upper lobe.
