ABSTRACT

A 71-years-old man presented with an incidentally finding of a tumor in the left pulmonary apex that measured approximately 4.5 cm of diameter. The patient, had de preceding of chronic smoking. Bronchoscopy with biopsy by transthoracic punction suggested the presence of epidermoid carcinoma. In the radiologic control, an increase in tumor size from 4.5 cm to 5 cm of the lesion was observed in a period of three months. The patient was submited to surgery and a tumorectomy by posterolateral thoracotomy was performed. The postoperatory evolution was satisfactory. The final diagnosis was hamartoma of the lung.
