Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Pulmonary hamartomas are the most common benign tumors of the lung in adults. They are usually asymptomatic because of their small size and their slow-growing character. We report the case of a 5-year-old child presenting with a giant lung mass causing recurrent right pneumonia. Surgical resection with middle lobectomy was performed. Final histology revealed pulmonary hamartoma with predominant adenofibromatous and lipomatous differentiation.
