The endobronchial hamartoma is a relatively rare benign tumor of the lung. The symptoms of the endobronchial hamartoma are produced by obstruction of the bronchus and its sequelae. This patient was 51 year old male and complained dypnea, cough and purulent sputum for 2 years. On bronchoscopic view, a yellowish pedunculated mass nearly total occluding right main bronchial lumen was found. Endoscopic biopsy revealed squamous cell metaplasia of the bronchial mucosa. The operation was done with the right pneumonectomy. The pathologic result of the operative specimen was endobronchial hamartoma arisen from the right upper lobe bronchus.

Hamartoma has been considered rare disease as a congenital malformation of a tumorous lesion since the original description by Albrecht in 1904. Pulmonary hamartoma is interesting to chest surgeon because of good result by surgical procedures and of slightly high incidence then another organs. It is characterized as lesion of very slow growing mass as peak incidence of age of 50 years age group and as sex ratio is 2:1. Especially endobronchial hamartoma is rarer than peripheral type. We had experienced a case of endobronchial hamartoma who has 53 years old male patient at right main bronchus and then treated by excision of tumor mass through right bronchotomy and preserving right lung except any lobectomy and pneumonectomy.

Endobronchial hamartoma is a extremely rare lesion. The patient was 47 years old female and complained of cough and dyspnea for several years. On bronchoscopy, a finger tip size mass, nearly occluding the left main bronchus and located 4cm from the carina, was found. Bronchoscopic biopsy showed the chronic inflammatory findings.We performed bronchotomy and removed the mass through left thoracotomy. The endobronchial tumor was confirmed hamartoma histopathologically.

We experienced one case of endobronchial hamartoma on left lower lobar bronchus in sixty year old male patient. Less than 1 % of lung tumors are benign, and the prevalence of endobronchial hamartoma is reported to be from 3 % to 40 %. The mean age was 52.9 years, and equal gender prevalence.Symptoms were related to intraluminal growth, including fever, chill, productive cough, hemoptysis, exertional dyspnea, recurrent pneumonia and so on. Bronchoscopic finding was tumor present as polypoid mass in the lumen of a left main stem bronchus,distal to 3 cm from carina. Biopsy was done. The histopathologic pattern showed several nodules of loose myxoid tissue and islands of cartilage. We performed partial resection of the affected bronchus,1cm anterior to the superior segmental bronchial opening to just distal from superior segmental orifice. Including superior segmentectomy, partial resection of the left lower lobar bronchial resection and end-to-end anastomosis with 4-0 Poly dioxanone sutere materials interruptedly. We report this case with the brief review of literatures.

배경: 폐과오종은 원발성 폐종양의 $2{\sim}5%$를 차지하며, 양성 종양 중에서는 가장 흔한 형태이나, 폐과오종에 대한 임상 고찰의 국내 논문은 흔하지 않다. 대상 및 방법: 2000년 1월부터 2005년 5월까지 본원에서 조직학적으로 폐과오종이 진단된 37명의 환자를 대상으로 후향적 분석을 하였다. 결과: 발생빈도는 60대가 12예(32.4%)로 가장 많았다. 남성이 23명(62.6%)이었고, 여성이 14명(37.8%)이었으며, 평균 연령은 55.6세였다. 26명(70.3%)의 환자는 무증상이였고, 11명(29.7%)은 증상이 있었다. 29예(78.4%)는 폐실질내 과오종이였고, 8예(21.6%)는 기관지내 과오종이였다. 20예(54.1 %)가 우측폐에 발생하였으며, 17예(45.9%)가 좌측폐에 발생하였고, 우하엽이 가장 많은 빈도를 보였다. 수술적 절제로 진단 받은 환자가 32명(86.%)이었으며, 기관지 내시경과 경피적 생검이 각각 4예(10.8%)와 1예 (2.7%)였다. 34예에서 종양제거를 시행하였으며 큰 합병증은 없었다. 재발이나 악성 변화는 관찰되지 않았다. 결론: 폐과오종의 40대에서 60대의 남자에 흔하며, 우측폐에 더 빈발한다. 추적 검사기간 동안 재발이나 악성 변화는 없었다.

Pulmonary hamartoma has been considered as rare disease, which consists of lung tumor less than 1 %. Originally described by Albrecht in 1904, hamartoma is tumor like malformation-abnormal mixing of the normal components of organ-and is applied also to tumor found in many organs other than the lung. Lately, the major conclusions are that pulmonary hamartoma is neoplastic rather than developmental error in origin. Because pulmonary hamartoma frequently mimics lung cancer, especially in cancer-risk age groups, its clinical significance is great. Recently, we experienced 1 cases of endobronchial hamartoma which located at the right main stem bronchus. The patient was a 54 year old male who was admitted due to symptoms of fever 4 chilliness and dyspnea. Radiologic studies such as chest x-ray, chest tomogram and chest C-T scan revealed that the nearly total haziness of the right lung was caused by endobronchial tumor. The mass was considered as a benign by bronchoscopic exam, so we removed it surgically by tracheobronchotomy without pulmonary resection. Postoperative chest x-ray revealed satisfactory reexpansion of previous collapsed right lung. The patient discharged uneventfully.

연구배경 : 폐과오종은 폐에 발생하는 양성 종양중 가장 흔한 형태의 종양이다. 하지만 아직 국내에 폐과오종에 대한 논문은 그리 많이 발표되어 있지 않다. 방 법 : 저자들은 1990년에서 1999년까지 가톨릭대학교 성모병원, 강남성모병원, 성바오로병원, 성빈센트병원에서 조직학적으로 폐과오종으로 진단받은 환자를 대상으로 후향적인 분석을 시행하였다. 결 과 : 위의 기간동안 폐과오종을 진단받은 환자는 29명이었다. 발생빈도는 50대가 11명 (37.5%)로 가장 많았다. 증상이 있었던 경우는 12명 (41.4%)로 흉부불쾌감이 가장 흔한 증상(31.0%) 이었으며 무증상이 경우는 17례 (58.6%)였다. 폐내과오종이 25예 (86.2%)로 기관지내 과오종의 4예(13.8%)에 비해 많았으며 좌측폐에 발생한 경우보다 우측폐에 발생한 경우가 많았다(1:2.2). 석회화소견은 단순 X-선상 19.2%에서, 흉부컴퓨터단층촬영상 29.4%에서 관찰되었다. 수술적절제로 진단받은 경우가 24예 (82.8%)로 대부분을 차지했으며 경피폐생검에 의해 진단된 경우는 4예(13.8%)였다. 26예 (89.7%)에서 수술적 절제술을 시행하였고 3예에서는 추적관찰만을 시행하였다. 평균 19.6개월의 추적기간중 재발한 예는 없었다. 결 론 : 폐과오종은 남성보다 여성에서 보다 많이 관찰되었으며 좌측보다는 우측에서 발생한 경우가 많았다. 석회화 소견은 흉부 X-선상 19.2%, 흉부컴퓨터단층촬영상 29.4%에서만이 관찰되었다, 추적관찰기간 동안 재발된 예는 없었다.
