title: Chest wall hamartoma in an adult: an unusual chest wall tumor.
abstract: An asymptomatic intrathoracic mass was demonstrated on imaging studies in an adult. Operative removal was accomplished and it proved to be an extrapulmonary hamartoma arising from the soft tissue of the chest wall. This represents a rare location of this benign tumor in an adult.
