Prolonged Air Leakage Caused by Mesenchymal Cystic Hamartoma of the Lung

Congenital folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma: A case report

Folliculosebaceous Cystic Hamartoma (FSCH) is a cutaneous hamartoma comprised of follicular, sebaceous and mesenchymal elements, and usually occurring during adulthood. Congenital and childhood presentations of this lesion are exceedingly rare. We describe herein a case of congenital FSCH on the midline and posterior region of the neck in a 1-year-old male infant and highlight the clinico...

Mesenchymal cystic hamartoma of the lung

We report the case of an asymptomatic 51-year-old man, presenting with chest X-ray abnormalities consisting in multiple pulmonary nodules; the diagnosis of mesenchymal cystic hamartoma of the lung was made by an open lung biopsy, revealing both nodules of mesenchymal cells and cysts with a lining of normal or metaplastic epithelium. Clinical and pathological characteristics of this rare entity ...

Mesenchymal cystic hamartoma of the lung: a rare cause of relapsing pneumothorax.

Fatal haemorrhage from mesenchymal cystic hamartoma of the lung.

A 34 year old women was admitted to the hospital with a 9 year history of intermittent haemoptysis associated with increasing breathlessness. A working diagnosis of lymphangioleiomyomatosis was made, based on clinical, radiological and histological findings. Three years later, the patient was admitted to hospital with worsening haemoptysis, which rapidly progressed and resulted in death from ma...

Cystic Pulmonary Chondroid Hamartoma: A Case Report

composed of varying proportions of mesenchymal tissues including cartilage, fat, epithelial, and connective tissue combined with entrapped respiratory epithelium (1). Pulmonary hamartomas are the most common benign neoplasms of the lung, accounting for 7-14% of benign solitary pulmonary nodules (1, 2). Pulmonary hamartomas are most commonly presented as incidental lung nodules found on a routin...
