title: Pulmonary hamartoma treated by thoracoscopic enucleation.
abstract: We recommend thoracoscopic enucleation with the aid of a video-assisted thoracic surgery marker to treat pulmonary hamartoma, even when it stays in the center of pulmonary lobe. We report how we were able to enucleate a pulmonary hamartoma safely and manage the patient during hospitalization.
