# Pulmonary Endobronchial Hamartoma Presenting With Post-obstructive Pneumonia

## TL;DR

This paper reports a rare case of a lung tumor causing airway blockage and repeated lung infections.

## Contribution

The novelty is presenting a rare endobronchial hamartoma case with post-obstructive pneumonia.

## Key findings

- Endobronchial hamartomas can cause airway obstruction.
- Such tumors may lead to recurrent post-obstructive pneumonia.

## Abstract

Pulmonary hamartomas (PH) are rare but are the most common benign tumors found in the lungs. They are slow-growing and are usually found incidentally on chest imaging during the sixth decade of life. Approximately 10% of pulmonary hamartomas are endobronchial. Rarely, pulmonary hamartomas can cause a spectrum of pulmonary symptoms depending on their size and location. We present a case of endobronchial hamartoma causing airway obstruction and recurrent post-obstructive pneumonia.
