Abstract
This report presents the case of an 88 year old man with tracheal hamartoma discovered through a chest X-ray film showing obstructive pneumonia before the manifestation of any symptoms associated with tracheal obstruction. Since surgical treatment was unfeasible, the tumor was removed with success through electric cauterization using a gastrointestinal fiberscope.
