  • Title: Cryodebulking of endobronchial hamartoma via fibreoptic bronchoscopy and literature review.
    Author: Ng BH, Ban Yu-Lin A, Low HJ, Faisal M.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2020 Aug 25; 13(8):. PubMed ID: 32843453.
    Abstract:
    Endobronchial hamartoma is a rare tumour. We report a 65-year-old woman with a history of recurrent pneumonia. Bronchoscopy revealed a 1 cm endobronchial mass obstructing the left upper lobe bronchus. Histopathological examination was consistent with a pulmonary hamartoma. This lesion was successfully debulked endoscopically with the use of a flexible cryoprobe without any complications. This case highlights both the importance of investigating recurrent pneumonia and the usefulness of endoscopic recanalisation in an obstructed segmental bronchus.
