ABSTRACT
67 years old male patient admitted to the hospital with symptoms of cough and hemoptysis. On chest X-ray homogenously increased density was observed in right paratracheal area. Chest CT revealed lesion obstructing right upper bronchus and right paratracheal lympadenopathy. Flexible fiberoptic brochoscopy was performed and vegetative, polipoid lesion with soft tissue density was observed extending from orifice of right upper lobe to right main bronchus. Then the patient underwent diagnostic thoracotomy and right upper lobectomy. Lobectomy material showed white tumor 1,5 cm in diameter, filling the bronchus. Microscopic diagnosis was endobronchial hamartoma with chondromatous areas.
