Abstract

Hamartomata is the most common benign type of tumor, occuring in the lung. However, a cystic pulmonary hamartoma is extremely rare, and is difficult to diagnose due to its nonspecific nature. We report a case of cystic pulmonary hamartoma in which a popcorn-like calcification is clearly identified, thus enabling a confident diagnosis of the disease.
