Indian J Chest Dis Allied Sci. 2006 Jul-Sep;48(3):217-9.

Abstract

Endobronchial hamartoma is a rare benign tumour of the lung that may present with bronchial obstruction. We present a case of endobronchial hamartoma that was resected and ablated with electrocautery and argon plasma coagulation by fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
