A Case of Multiple Chondromatous Hamartoma with Cystic Degeneration in the Lung

Abstract

Pulmonary hamartomas are the most common benign lung tumors, are usually a solitary tumor, and occur without cystic changes in the lung tissue around the tumor. A 20-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital due to pulmonary cystic and multiple solid lesions after detection by chest radiograph during a health check up. This lesion was removed under thoracoscopic assisted surgery. It was histologically diagnosed as a multiple pulmonary chondromatous hamartoma with cystic degeneration. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged from the hospital on the seventh day after operation.
