A Rare Case of Giant Pulmonary Hamartoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of huge pulmonary hamartoma with atrophied right lower lobe in a 33-year-old female patient. The pulmonary hamartoma was solid, 30 × 16.5 × 14.5 cm in size, which sectioned surface reveals a thick-walled fibrous cyst with multiple yellow nodules protruding into the lumen. The tumour was compressing the right lung and there was no evidence of infiltration into the surrounding structures. It was successfully treated by surgical resection and final histology was pulmonary hamartoma with predominantly fibrous tissue, cartilaginous tissue and leiomyomatous differentiation. We believe this is the largest reported case in literatures yet, and this was successfully resected via a median sternotomy.

Hamartoma of the breast is a rare benign breast lesion which is unfamiliar to most clinicians, although the mammographic features are usually characteristic. Hamartomas are composed of ducts, lobules, fat and fibrous tissue. These benign lesions are likely to be increasingly diagnosed because of routine screening and hence clinical awareness is paramount to prevent these lesions from being ...

matous or leiomyomatous, are the most common benign tumors of the lung. However, multiple pulmonary chondromatous hamartomas are rare with less than 20 cases having been previously reported (1). These lesions have also been known to coexist with certain other diseases. The majority of such tumors are small and solitary (2). We present a case of a giant pulmonary chondromatous hamartoma with mul...

Background: Neurofollicular hamartoma (NFH) is characterized histopathologically by fascicles of spindle cells that laterally delimited by hyperplastic folliculosebaceous units. It usually appears on face, near the nose or nasolabial fold. It does not manifest true neural differentiation and recently the term spindle cell predominant trichodiscoma (SCPT) has been used instead. Case Presentatio...
