C44-30 Bronchoscopic Management of a Rare Case of Endobronchial Hamartoma

Pulmonary hamartomas are benign tumors composed of varying proportions of fibrous tissue, fat, cartilage, and bone. Based on their location, they are categorized as parenchymalor endobronchial, with the latter representing 1.4-19.5% of allpulmonary hamartomas.We describe the case of a patient who presented withprogressive dyspnea, in whom bronchoscopy revealed an almost completely obstructing lesion in the distal rightintermediate bronchus. The mass was successfully excisedusing fiberoptic bronchoscopy, and postoperative follow-upthoracic computed tomography demonstrated no recurrence.This case underscores the clinical efficacy of bronchoscopicexcision as a safe, minimally invasive, and definitivetreatment option for endobronchial hamartomas, enabling bothrapid symptom relief and prevention of irreversibleparenchymal damage secondary to airway obstruction.
