Abstract

Hamartoma is the most common benign lesion of the lung, but endobronchial localisationis rare. Typically occurs between the fifth and seventh decade of life and in literature has never beendescribed in association with pregnancy. We report the case of a young woman in whom the tumor seems to have an increase of size after two pregnancies in the course of his life. The pulmonary hamartoma is the most common benign lesion of the lung, but endobronchiallocalisation is rare. Early diagnosis and resection of benign endobronchial tumors may avert significantmorbidity and prevent distal lung damage. Following histological examination reassessment of the clinical history of our patient ledus to hypothesize, on the basis of pathophysiological, a rise in the size of the endobronchial lesion givenby hormonal stimulation pregnancy-related
