title: Benign endobronchial tumours treated by neodymium-YAG laser.
abstract: We present two patients with benign endobronchial tumours: polypi and a chondroma. Both were treated by Neodymium-YAG laser photoresection. There have been no signs of recurrence in the four years since treatment. Endobronchial resection by Neodymium-YAG laser is an effective treatment for benign endobronchial tumours.
