Journal Title: International Journal of Respiratory and Pulmonary Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1

We here present a case of seromucinous hamartoma manifesting as an obstructive endobronchial mass in a 65-year-old male and active smoker, who presented with dyspnea upon prolonged exertion and atelectasis.
