Hamartoma is one of the most common benign lung tumors. Most of them are located in the lung parenchyme, but very rarely it can originate endobronchially. Endobronchial hamartoma may cause irreversible lung damage due to the bronchial obstruction if it is not diagnosed and treated properly. The most frequent clinical features are hemoptysis and obstructive pneumonia. Transbronchial endoscopic surgery is a good therapeutic choice and is recommended first for patients who have resectable small endobronchial hamartoma. Here, we report a case of endobronchial hamartoma treated with rigid bronchoscopy and various microforceps with a review of the literature.

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.

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.

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.

폐실질내 과오종에 비해 기관지 내 과오종은 드문 질환으로 폐실질 내 과오종이 우연히 발견되는 것에 비해 기관지 내 과오종은 기관지 폐색에 의한 증상이 유발되어 발견되는 경우가 많다. 47세 남자가 한 달간의 기침을 주소로 내원하였다. 기관지 내시경에서 좌상엽 전구역을 페쇄하고 있는 과오종이 발견되었으며 좌상엽전구역 절제술로 제거되었다. 저자들은 좌상엽 전구역 절제술로 제거된 기관지내 과오종을 경험하여 보고하는 바이다.

In 1904, Albrecht first used the term "hamartoma" to refer to a congenital abnormal mixing of the normal components of an organ and is applied also to tumors found in many organs other than the lung. Though the term "hamartoma" of the lung have been used with the connection to the presence of cartilage, tumors that do not contain cartilagenous compont is also considered hamartoma. The authors experienced one case of endobronchial hamartoma. The patient, a 42-year-old woman, a teacher in a primary school, was admitted to our hospital with frequent attacks of hemoptysis. Bronchogram on the left disclosed abrupt blocking of bronchial filling at the bifurcation between postero-basal and lateral basal segmental bronchial substantiating a mass in the bronchial lumen. Left lower lobectomy was performed. The answer of pathology was benign endobronchial hamartoma. Postoperative course was uneventful. Discharged on 19th postoperative day.

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.

과오종은 가장 흔히 보는 폐의 양성종양이나 기관지 내에 발생하는 경우는 드물다. 더욱이 지방종성인 경우는 매우 드물다. 73세 남자에게 한 달 전부터 객혈이 발생되어 입원하였다. 기관지경 검사에서 우상엽기관지를 막고 있는 돌출된 종괴가 발견되었다. 수술 중 얻은 동결 조직에서 양성으로 진단되어 기관지절개만으로 종양을 제거하였다. 저자들은 기관지절개만으로 제거된 지방종성 기관지내 과오종을 경험하여 보고하는 바이다.
