Abstract
Primary tumors of trachea are usually malignant (90%). Hamartomas are the most frequently seen benign lung tumors. Hamartomas are usually located peripherally but they can be present as endobronchial localization in 8-10% of cases. Squamous-cell papilloma, fibroma and haemangioma are the commonest benign tracheal tumors but hamartomas are rare.
Highlights
Primary tumors of trachea are usually malignant (90%) [1]
We describe a case of hamartoma located in trachea which diagnosed incidentally, while patient was been investigated for neuromotor diseases
Hamartomas are expressed as a combination of sequencing abnormal mature mesenchymal cells of the lung
Summary
Primary tumors of trachea are usually malignant (90%) [1]. Hamartomas are the most frequently seen benign lung tumors. 77% of all benign tumors of the lung are hamartomas [2,3]. Squamous-cell papilloma, fibroma and haemangioma are the commonest benign tracheal tumors but hamartomas are rare. Transbronchial endoscopic surgery is usually performed for patients with a small endobronchial hamartoma. We are presenting a case of tracheal hamartoma which diagnosed during the lung cancer investigating. Primary tumors of trachea are usually malignant (90%) [1].
