Benign tumours of the tracheobronchial tree are quite rare. Hamartoma of the lung is the most common benign tumour. We report a rare case of lipomatous hamartoma causing endobronchial obstruction in a 65 year old male. *Corresponding author: Gayathri Devi HJ, Associate professor, Department of chest diseases, MS Ramaiah medical college, Bangalore, India, Tel: +918040502000, ext-3094; E-mail: [email protected] Received August 25, 2013; Accepted October 25, 2013; Published October 28, 2013 Citation: Gayathri Devi HJ (2013) Lipomatous Hamartoma: A Rare Cause for Endobronchial Obstruction.
