Abstract
Endobronchial hamartomas are not very common and they are usually symp tomatic because of bronchial obstruction. The diagnosis is made by fib eroptic bronchoscopy of thoracotomy and there are several possibilitie s of treatment but until now the most common has been surgical resecti on. We report the case of a man with an endobronchial hamartoma who wa s diagnosed by fiberoptic bronchoscopy and successfully treated by rig id bronchoscopy.
