Endobronchial lipomatous hamartoma with mediastinal extension

J Thorac Imaging. 2010 Feb;25(1):W6-9. doi: 10.1097/RTI.0b013e318199fbd5.

Abstract

Endobronchial hamartoma is a special form of pulmonary hamartoma. We report a histologically proven case of an endobronchial lipomatous hamartoma with extrabronchial-mediastinal extension in a 64-year-old patient, and we describe the computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of an endobronchial hamartoma extending into the mediastinum.
