Hamartomas are rare benign tumours composed of multiple mesenchymal cell lines. Two clinical types have been defined according to the location: intraparenchymal and endobronchial, more frequently the former. We present a case of endobronchial hamartoma causing significant blockage of the right middle lobe. The finding was incidental on a CT scan of the chest done for staging purposes for a large mixed lytic and sclerotic lesion that was found within the proximal-mid portion of the tibial diaphysis. The endobronchial lesion was removed by hot electrocautery snare during bronchoscopy and identified as a hamartoma. Argon plasma coagulation was applied to the lesion{\textquoteright}s base afterwards and the patient was to follow-up in 3 months for a repeat CT scan.}, URL = {https://casereports.bmj.com/content/12/9/e229670}, eprint = {https://casereports.bmj.com/content/12/9/e229670.full.pdf}, journal = {BMJ Case Reports CP} }
