Os hamartomas são tumores benignos caracterizados
por tecido desorganizado nativo de uma localização anatômica específica.
Apresentamos o caso de um homem de 61 anos com história de infecção por
COVID-19 que consultou por tosse persistente. A tomografia de tórax revelou uma
lesão endobrônquica central, sendo indicado a realização de broncoscopia. Com
alça fria, a lesão foi ressecada com sucesso e o diagnóstico de hamartoma foi
confirmado pelo exame anatomopatológico. A ressecção endobrônquica é a melhor
estratégia para diagnosticar e tratar esses tumores. Este caso destaca o manejo
bem-sucedido de um hamartoma endobrônquico em um paciente com histórico de
infecção por COVID-19, enfatizando a importância de uma investigação minuciosa
e de uma intervenção adequada em casos semelhantes.

A 61y-old male, with
a history of COVID-19 infection 3 months previously, who consulted for a
persistent cough. The chest tomography showed an endobronchial lesion (Fig
1), and it was decided to continue the investigation with a bronchoscopy.
The bronchoscopy
revealed a single, exophytic, homogeneous lesion with normal mucosa, located in
the intermediary bronchus (Fig 2A), which was successfully resected with
a cold loop (Fig 2B) and hemostasis performed with ice-cold saline solution
(Fig 2C). The pathology confirmed the diagnosis of a hamartoma.
The patient has not
had a persistent cough since the ambulatory endoscopic resection.A hamartoma is
mostly a benign tumor resulting from disorganized tissue native to a particular
anatomical location. Pulmonary hamartomas are more frequent in males, between
the fifth and sixth decade of life1, and are generally located in
the periphery of the lung. Most cases are asymptomatic and discovered
incidentally while evaluating other medical conditions2.
Endobronchial resection is the preferred strategy for diagnosis and treatment
of these tumors3,4.

Discussion
Pulmonary hamartomas are more frequent in
males, between the fifth and sixth decade of life, and are generally located in
the periphery of the lung. Most cases are asymptomatic and discovered
incidentally while evaluating other medical conditions. Endobronchial resection
is the preferred strategy for diagnosis and treatment of these tumors.
