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.

We report a case of a 68-year-old gentleman, found to have a right hilar soft tissue mass whilst undergoing CT staging for prostate cancer. MRI imaging showed a heterogenous, enhancing solid mass without evidence of fat content. A linear probe endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration was performed using a 19G needle.

Background: The targets of bronchoscopic biopsy now include not only adequate tissue for histologic diagnosis but also tissue for further analysis. We prospectively compared standard and novel bronchoscopic endobronchial biopsy (EBB) retrieval methods attempting to increase tissue yield.
Methods: EBB samples were retrieved using techniques A, B, and C using a standard forceps.

Pulmonary chondromatous (or chondroid) hamartomas are common benign tumours of the lung and may be either parenchymal or endobronchial. The latter are only rarely encountered and have a variation in their clinical presentation related to the endobronchial obstructive lesion, including atelectasis, pneumonia, hemoptysis. If not diagnosed early and treated properly, endobronchial hamartomas can cause irreversible lung damage.
