Abstrakt: Most tumours of the tracheobronchial tree are malignant. Benign tumours such as hamartoma are infrequent and generally intra‑parenchymal. Here we present a case of a 65‑year‑old male patient who presented with a purely endobronchial lobulated mass lesion in the left main bronchus. This central airway obstruction was managed by a complete endobronchial resection using an electrocautery snare and cryo‑recanalisation techniques. A diagnosis of endobronchial chondroid hamartoma was made on histopathological examination. Such endobronchial lesions are rare and constitute less than 2% of all hamartomas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
