Endobronchial hamartoma presenting as massive haemoptysis.
A 53 year old man presented with massive haemoptysis, and chest radiography revealed a left suprahilar mass. At thoracotomy he was found to have a modular mass in the left upper lobe, which was attached to a peripheral bronchus. Histology confirmed a pulmonary hamartoma.
