[Endobronchial hamartoma: a case report].

We described a case of endobronchial hamartoma diagnosed in a seven years-old-child (which presented with chronic cough as the only symptom). The chest radiographs showed left lung global condensation. We did rigid bronchoscopy to discard a bronchial foreign body and confirmed the existence of a white-yellowish colour, smooth surface mass obliterating the left main bronchus. Biopsy and anatomopathology study give the result of hamartoma. We performed thoracotomy, bronchotomy and enucleation of the mass. The frequency, clinic, diagnosis and treatment of endobronchial hamartoma are analyzed.
