Abstract
- Most of the pulmonary endobronchial lesions are malignant in origin. In rare instances, benign lesions such as endobronchial hamartoma may be the cause of the endobronchial tree obstruction. We present the case of a 57-year-old male patient from North Africa who presents with a history of a 5-month cough. Imaging, particulary CT scan, showed a mass on the right intermediate bronchus whose radiological characteristics are consistent with hamartoma. A biopsy of the mass obtained via bronchoscopy revealed chronic inflammation with no evidence for malignancy. The patient was treated surgically, and anatomopathology confirmed the diagnosis of hamartoma.<br /> (© 2024 The Authors.)
