“…The presence of a destroyed lung caused by an endobronchial lesion or the presence of other concomitant pathology like a malignancy will necessitate a more extensive resection. They are not known to recur, though a case of a hamartoma presenting 40 years after a lobectomy and thoracoplasty for tuberculosis has been reported 8 .…”

Pulmonary hamartoma are true neoplasms. Infections are one of the suggested etiologies causing them. But no specific infections have been reported in association with hamartoma. We present the case of a patient with a suspected endobronchial foreign body, who, after an unsuccessful attempt at endoscopic removal, underwent a lobectomy since the lung beyond the obstruction was unsalvageable. The endobronchial lesion proved to be an ossified hamartoma. The destroyed lung was infected with Mycobacaterium tuberculosis. Chronic inflammation caused by tuberculosis could have caused the hamartoma. This combination of endobronchial hamartoma and pulmonary tuberculosis has not been reported in English literature.

Pulmonary hamartoma presenting 40 years after lobectomy and thoracoplasty for tuberculosis

Abstract: We report a case of giant pulmonary hamartoma found in a patient who had undergone lobectomy and thoracoplasty 40 years previously. This particular case may be consistent with the theory of hamartomas as acquired lesions.
