Multiple recurrent intrapulmonary and endobronchial mesenchymomas (hamartomas).
A patient is described with multiple, benign, chondromatous intrapulmonary and endobronchial mesenchymomas of the lung, which recurred after resection on two occasions over a period of 30 years. In such a patient presenting at a young age or with a history of previous recurrence, a wedge excision may be necessary to prevent further recurrence.
