Massive chondroid hamartoma of the lung clinically masquerading as bronchogenic carcinoma. Indian Journal of Pathology & Microbiology. 2008 Jan-Mar; 51(1): 61-2http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/72826Chondroid hamartomas of the lung are uncommon lesions which are generally small sized and asymptomatic. Herein we describe a case of a large-sized pulmonary chondroid hamartoma which clinically mimicked bronchogenic carcinoma. A large hilar growth was detected in the left lung on radiological studies. Left upper lobectomy was done. The growth was well defined with a lobulated bluish cut surface. Histopathology disclosed lobules of mature cartilage rimmed by long slit-like epithelial channels admixed with mature adipose tissue.engCarcinoma, Bronchogenic --diagnosisDiagnosis, DifferentialFemaleHamartoma --diagnosisHumansLung --radiographyLung Diseases --pathologyMiddle AgedCase Reports
