Overview

Bronchoscopy may be useful to obtain biopsy and evaluate symptomatic bronchial hamartomas.^[1]

Bronchoscopy is an invasive endoscopic technique useful in the diagnosis of endobronchial hamartomas.
Bronchoscopic findings normally show that endobronchial hamartomas are inflamed, which results in nonspecific conclusions.^[1].
