چکیده

This case is one of considerable rarity. The literature on pulmonary hamartomata is almost exclusively limited to the chrondromatous type, in which the cartilage is associated marginally and between fissures with various non-cartilaginous tissues. In these, muscle fibres do not occur very frequently. For example, in 31 cases reported by Rubin and Berkman (1952) strands of smooth muscle were an infrequent finding; in nine cases quoted by Carlsen and Kiaer (1950) strands of smooth muscle were noted in one only; and in reviewing the literature (when describing their own three cases) Bragg and Levene (1950) remark that plain muscle fibres are only occasionally mentioned. Hence the present case, which contains extensive sheets of plain muscle, falls quite outside the usual category.
