A 70-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of left-sided chest pain and dyspnea. Chest X-ray film showed a tumor in the left main bronchus and left pleural effusion. On bronchoscopy, a tumor which moved with respiration was observed in the left main bronchus. We successfully performed endoscopic laser polypectomy. Pathological examination revealed non-chondromatous hamartoma.
