| Popis: | Chondroid hamartomas are rare benign tumors of the lung which show predominantly cartilage. Usually, they are small, solitary, and asymptomatic lesions. They are detected incidentally on chest X-ray or at the time of autopsy. Occasionally, large pulmonary hamartomas are encountered. We present a case of a 60-year-old male patient with a 6-month history of cough. His X-ray and computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest revealed a well-defined soft-tissue density lesion with popcorn calcification measuring 6.5 cm × 4.8 cm in the left lung upper lobe. A presumptive diagnosis of chondroid hamartoma was made in CT-guided percutaneous biopsy. A posterolateral thoracotomy and left upper lobectomy were done. There was a spherical gray-white firm mass noted in the resected lobectomy specimen. Postoperative histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of pulmonary chondroid hamartoma. This is an additional case of large chondroid hamartoma. |
