Abstract
A 76-year-old man was hospitalized because of progressive dyspnea on exertion. Chest X-ray films on admission showed atelectasis of the right upper lobe. Bronchoscopy revealed a hamartoma obstructing the orifice of the right upper lobe bronchus. Endoscopic Nd-YAG and low wave length KTP laser therapy was performed, because the mass was large and its root could not be identified. He has been well after the treatment, with no evidence of recurrence. Endoscopic therapy using two types of laser may be useful in treating an endobronchial hamartoma in elderly patients with low pulmonary function.
