Twenty seven cases of surgically excised pulmonary hamartomas were reviewed. Patient's ages varied from twenty eight year-old to seventy seven year-old with an average of fifty three year-old. Of twenty seven cases, seventeen cases were man, seventeen cases has mass on right lung, and twenty six cases has solitary mass. While twenty five cases were asymptomatic, one case had cough, and the other cases had a history of hemoptysis (Case 3). Medical treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis had been continued unless the confirmed diagnosis on two cases. On one case followed as tuberculosis for twelve years, size of tumor shadow grew to two times bigger on chest X-ray films (Case 1). One of 27 cases showed multiple mass (Case 2). Histopathologically, twenty six cases were chondromatous hamartoma, and one case was non-chondromatous hamartoma. Pulmonary hamartoma is a benign tumor, and majority of cases are asymptomatic and not growing. On cases with presumed pulmonary hamartoma, less invasive thoracoscopic surgery seemed valuable for both therapeutic and diagnostic purpose to avoid continuous non-rational treatment and mental pressure of patient by prolonged follow up with unconfirmed diagnosis since complete differentiation from malignant neoplasm should not satisfactory on many cases.

Endobronchial lipoma is a rare benign tumor in the bronchial tree. We report a case of endobronchial lipoma in a 73-year-old man with hemoptysis. Chest radiograph revealed atelectasis of the right upper lung. Bronchoscopy revealed a well-defined endobronchial lesion in the right upper lobe bronchus with near total occlusion, but a biopsy was not performed. An endobronchial tumor was identified on CT scan with demonstration of fat within the tumor. Endobronchial lipoma was diagnosed and a sleeve lobectomy of the right upper lobe bronchus was performed. The pathological diagnosis was submucosal lipoma. The patient's symptoms improved during follow-up of more than 1 year. CT scan can be used to diagnose endobronchial lipoma and can help in the development of a management plan.

Benign neoplasm of the endobronchial tree is quite rare, while endobronchial lipoma is extremely rare. The irreversible pulmonary damage is due to progressive bronchial obstruction; even so, pleural empyema is exceptionally encountered in a case of endobronchial lipoma. We report a case of a 47-year-old man who had left lung pneumonia with hemoptysis. The chest computed tomography showed cystic bronchiectasis with pleural effusion, Flexible bronchoscopy revealed a round tumor on the left main bronchus.

Tracheal capillary hemangioma is a very rare benign tumor of trachea which may present as massive hemoptysis. Minor to massive hemoptysis can be observed in these patients. Due to its small size and tracheal localization, diagnosis cannot be easily performed by using radiological investigations. Fifty-years-old male patient who was diagnosed as tracheal capillary hemangioma with bronchoscopic biopsy was presented in this case report. According to our knowledge, this is the eighth case report in the world literature. Tracheal capillary hemangioma must be kept in mind in patients with massive hemoptysis with normal radiologic features and bronchoscopic procedures (excision, argon, laser etc.) should be the first choice of therapy when diagnosed.

Tracheal papillary adenoma is a rare benign tumor. We report a case of papillary adenoma in a 62-year-old male smoker who presented with recurrent hemoptysis. The tumor was located in the upper third of trachea and forceps biopsy through flexible bronchoscopy was uncomplicated and diagnostic.

Glomus tumor is usually a small, benign tumor and typically occurs in the dermis or subcutis or soft tissue of the extremities and rarely in the visceral locations. Its occurrence in the main bronchus is extremely rare. The current case reported a 30-year-old woman with dyspnea on exertion and hemoptysis, she had a glomus tumor which has large size, deep location and exhibits an infiltrative margin as well as increased atypical mitotic figures. These characteristics suggest malignant behavior. However, there is little data regarding glomus tumors arising in the bronchus, the need for caution in diagnosing this case as a malignant glomus tumor must be highlighted. Therefore, the diagnosis of bronchial glomus tumor of uncertain malignant potential was favored. To the best of our knowledge, both the type and the location of this glomus tumor are extremely rare. Accumulation of more cases are needed to clarify their diagnosis and significance since there is little data regarding glomus tumors arising in the bronchus.

Capillary hemangioma of the tracheobronchial tree is an extremely rare benign tumor in adults, especially those located in the bronchus. Characteristics and treatment of capillary hemangiomas of adult tracheobronchial trees have not been well known. We present a 61-year-old man with hemoptysis, which was caused by a small tiny nodule in the left lingular segmental bronchus. The nodule was removed by a forcep biopsy, via flexible bronchoscopy, and it was revealed to be capillary hemangioma. A small isolated endobronchial capillary hemangioma can be treated with excisional forcep biopsy, but a risk of massive bleeding should not be overlooked.

The clinical data of 18 patients with PB from April 1989 to April 2013 was analyzed retrospectively, including 11 men and 7 women, aged 45 and 76 years old (mean 53 years). There were 12 cases of PB occurring in right lung and other cases in left lung. Among them, 3 patients had no symptoms, and 15 patients displayed symptoms of cough, chest pain, asthenia or minor haemoptysis. Overall, 11 patients had a preoperative diagnosis of lung cancer, 7 patients were preoperatively diagnosed as the other diseases, which included lung benign tumor (n=5) and mediastinal mass (n=2). All patients received a radical resection. Six patients received postoperative cisplatin-based chemotherapy, and two patients received postoperative irradiation with the dose of 55 Gy. Histologically, 14 cases of 18 patients had biphasic pulmonary blastoma and four cases had well differentiated fetal adenocarcinoma. A total of 12 patients died in a period of 6-36 months after operation, and 1 case was lost after 2 years of follow up. The median survival time was 19 months. PB is a rare primary lung malignant embryonal neoplasm. Despite its assumed embyonal origin, the tumor has a predilection for adults. A preoperative correct diagnosis is very difficult in spite of modern diagnostic imaging and biopsy techniques. Surgical resection is the main method for diagnosis and treatment. Postoperative chemotherapy or irradiation can help eliminate tumor remnants. Its prognosis is very poor, especially for the biphasic type.

Although endobronchial hamartoma is a rare benign tumor, most patients with endobronchial hamartoma have respiratory symptoms such as obstructive pneumonia, hemoptysis, cough, or dyspnea due to bronchial obstruction. It can cause irreversible post-obstructive pulmonary destruction, thus early diagnosis and treatment is very important. Recently, there have been cases of neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser and electrocautery procedures for bronchoscopic treatment of malignant or benign central airway obstruction with comparable therapeutic efficacy and few complications. Bronchoscopic cryotherapy is a newly developed technique for management of central airway obstruction. Moreover, it provides diagnostic methods with improving diagnostic yield and safety. We report two cases of endobronchial hamartoma, each diagnosed and definitively treated with bronchoscopic techniques. Endobronchial biopsy and removal was successfully performed by cryotherapy via flexible bronchoscopy without notable complications. Follow-up bronchoscopic examinations excluded residual or recurrent disease.
