Abstract
A case report of a malignant hamartoma of the lung observed in a 36 yr old housewife was presented. The hamartoma was nonchondromatous (fibromyomatous) and located beneath the pleura of the left upper lobe. The malignant lesion corresponded to anaplastic carcinoma of the lung. A review of the literatures on the malignant hamartoma of the lung revealed rare incidences of the tumor, but hamartoma and hamartomatous lesions of the lung should be regarded as 1 of the histopathological backgrounds from which pulmonary carcinoma may arise.
