GOOOD
Coorect answer....
Bronchial adenoma....commonly presents with hemoptysis otherwise asymptomatic....
Lesion is commonly central....and the first investigation as in any case oif lung syptoms... is CXR
and that chould reveal a central lesion.
A peripheral lesion is commonly see with a hamatoma (pop-corn calicifcation)
Because it is centrally located ..it is reachable by a bronchospope....
