RESUMEN
A 31-year-old woman presented with a cough, pain on the left side on deep inspiration, dyspnea, and fever. A chest x-ray showed pneumonic infiltration of the left middle and lower lung and decreased left hemithorax volume. A computed tomography (CT) revealed an occlusion of the left main bronchus by an intraluminal tumour. Bronchoscopic biopsy specimens suggested an endobronchial hamartoma. Therefore, we resected the tumour endobronchially using a bronchoscopic electrosurgical snare and argon plasma coagulation.
