Bronchial chondromas are very rare pulmonary benign tumors. Despite their rarity, clinicians should be aware of the possibility of endobronchial tumors in patients with unexplained respiratory symptoms. Treatment modalities for the complete excision of the tumor should be initiated to prevent further complications based on the individual tumor situation.

As the disease progresses, it can obstruct the airway and cause clinical symptoms such as fever and cough. It is difficult to detect Endobronchial chondroma on a Chest X-ray, but chest CT can provide a more accurate diagnosis.

Chondroma is a rare benign tumor of the cartilage and occurs in the tracheobronchial tree, either isolated or as part of the Carney triad. It has been sparsely described in the literature, and some were mislabeled as hamartomas. We herein report a case of a 63-year-old female who was initially treated for community-acquired right middle lobe pneumonia.

Endobronchial hamartochondroma is a rare benign tumor which differs from the parenchymal form in its symptomatology and also by its treatment which should be as conservative as possible. The endobronchial location is exceptional. Here we present the cases of two patients with endobronchial hamartochondroma associated with clinical manifestation, chest pain and repeated pulmonary infections, respectively.
