Fleksibl bronkoskopi ile elektrokoter yoluyla tedavi edilen endobronşiyal hamartom olgusu

Hamartom en sık görülen benign akciğer tümörüdür. Sıklıkla soliter nodül veya endobronşiyal lezyon olarak periferde parankimde görülür. Endobronşiyal formu hava yolu obstrüksiyonu, atelektazi ve tekrarlayan pnömoniye neden olur. Endobronşiyal hamartomlar cerrahi rezeksiyonla veya bronkoskopik olarak çıkarılabilir. Biz cerrahi rezeksiyon gerekmeden bronkoskopik elektrokoterle tedavi ettiğimiz endobronşiyal hamartom olgusunu sunuyoruz.

Endobronchial hamartoma removed by flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy via electrocautery

Hamartomas are the most common benign tumors of the lung. It is most common periferally in the parenchyma as solitary nodule or endobronchial lesion. Endobronchial form may cause obstruction of airway, atelectasis and recurrent pneumonia. Endobronchial hamartomas may be treated by surgical intervention or bronchoscopic excision (with rigid or flexible procedures). We are presenting a case of endobronchial hamartoma succesfully treated with bronchoscopic electrocautery without a need for surgical removal.
