-Abstract-
Pulmonary hamartoma is an uncommon benign tumor consisting of a mixture of loose
fibromyxoid tissue, cartilage, fat and cleft-like spaces lined by cuboidal or ciliated
epithelim. Cytologically, the presence of a mesenchymal component is essential for the
diagnosis of pulmonary hamartoma. We report the fine needle aspiration cytologic
findings of two cases of pulmonary hamartoma. Case 1 was a 71-year-old woman with
a mass, measuring 1.8 1.5 ㎝ in the upper lobe of the right lung. Case 2 was a
51-year-old woman with a mass, measuring 2.3 2.0 ㎝ in the lower lobe of the right
lung. Fine needle aspiration cytology of both pulmonary masses revealed several sheets
of loose fibromyxoid tissue fragments with focal cartilaginous differentiation and a few
clusters of bland cuboidal epithelial cells on the bloody background. The diagnosis was
histologically confirmed by needle biopsy
