Peripheral intrapulmonary hamartoma accompanied by a similar endotracheal lesion.
We describe a case of peripheral intrapulmonary hamartoma accompanied by a similar endotracheal lesion. A 70-year-old asymptomatic man had a polypoid lesion in the trachea and a nodular shadow in a peripheral lung area. A biopsy specimen from the trachea revealed a chondroid hamartoma, and the surgically resected tissue of the intrapulmonary tumor showed the same histologic findings. This is the second case of multiple hamartomas showing coexistence of tracheobronchial and parenchymal tumors.
