Pulmonary chondromatous hamartoma is a very rare disease in pulmonary tumors but it´s character is benign nature.
It is often incidental, asymptomatic finding on routine chest roentgenogram. They are reported to account for 8 percent of all coin lesions.
In 1904, Albrecht first used the term "Hamartoma" to refer to a congenital abnormal mixing of the normal components of an organs o-.her than the lung. The author experienced one case of endobronchial hamartoma.
The patient, 41-year-old-female was admitted to our hospital due to chest tigh-
tness and general weakness. Chest roentgenogram reveals that walnut-size radio-
opaque density is seen in right upper lung field with demarcated margin.
Right pneumonectomy is performed and the answer of pathology is benign
endotrachial hamartoma.
The post-operative course is unevenful and she was discharged in good condition.
