| Abstract |
|
Hamartoma is the most common benign neoplasm occurring in the lung. By contrast, endobronchial hamartomas are rare and cause irreversible lung damage due to bronchial obstruction if not diagnosed early and treated properly. Of the various treatments for this rare disease, surgical resection and removal using rigid bronchoscopy remains the most popular; this requires general anesthesia and relatively more time to recover from the procedure. Here, we report the cases of a 50-year-old woman and 65-year-old man who presented with endobronchial hamartomas that were removed successfully using cryotherapy and electrocoagulation via a flexible bronchoscope. |
