Abstract
- Pulmonary hamartomas are common benign lung tumors; however, endobronchial hamartomas are relatively rare. We report a case of asymptomatic endobronchial hamartoma in a 51-year-old man. Chest computed tomography revealed a 10-mm protrusion in the right main bronchus. Preoperative virtual bronchoscopy (VBS) was performed; subsequently, minimally invasive bronchoscopic resection was safely performed under local anesthesia. The use of VBS is a useful treatment strategy and follow-up modality.
