title: [Pulmonary hamartoma: a case with a predominant leiomyomatous component].
abstract: We report a case of leiomyomatous pulmonary hamartoma observed in a 61-year-old patient who presented with chest pain. The chest x-ray visualized a benign opacity of the upper right lobe. Hamartoma is the most frequent benign bronchopulmonary tumor. Surgical resection is required. Imaging provides the diagnosis. Conservative surgery is generally possible. Prognosis is favorable.
