Pulmonary carcinoma associated with hamartoma in an 11-year-old boy

Am J Pediatr Hematol Oncol. 1993 Nov;15(4):439-42.

Abstract

Purpose: We describe a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the lung in an 11-year-old boy who had had a pulmonary hamartoma for at least 8 years.

Conclusions: A hamartoma, even if clinically silent, may lead to the development of malignant tumors on rare occasions.
