title: [Cannonball pulmonary hamartochondroma. Apropos of a case--review of the literature].
abstract: Chondroid hamartomas disseminated in both lung fields were discovered in a 76 year old man presenting with recurrent haemoptysis. In view of this metastatic cannonball appearance and the negative investigations, exploratory thoracotomy was performed, revealing the correct diagnosis. Although classical, this form of hamartoma is rare and warrants a case report.
