Endobronchial hamartoma in a case with neurofibromatosis.

A 60-year-old male patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 presented with a right pulmonary mass. Bronchoscopic evaluation revealed an endobronchial mass on the right upper lobe.He was operated on after a bronchial biopsy and a fine-needle aspiration biopsy revealed non-specific findings. Pathological evaluation of right upper lobectomy material was compatible with an endobronchial hamartoma and right upper lobar abscess.Hamartoma is a component of neurofibromatosis syndrome. However, endobronchial hamartoma, as found in our patient, is a rare condition and is the reason for presenting this case.
