  • Title: Pulmonary hamartoma.
    Author: Prohm P, Winter J, Schmücker P.
    Journal: Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1982 Oct; 30(5):302-5. PubMed ID: 6183780.
    Abstract:
    From 1973 to 1980, 9 pulmonary chondromatous hamartomas of the lung were resected at our Clinic. One of these hamartomas was a rare endobronchial chondroma. To our knowledge, 91 cases of endobronchial hamartomas have been described in the previous literature. Although a similar origin of intrapulmonary and endobronchial hamartomas is postulated, there is a difference in their clinical features. The endobronchial type of hamartoma often causes respiratory symptoms of obstructing the bronchus with consequent destruction of the distal lung, whereas patients with intra-pulmonary hamartomas are symptom-free.
