Abstract

We describe a rare case of extrapulmonary hamartoma. A 65-year-old man underwent video-assisted thoracic surgery to obtain a histological diagnosis of a tumor with an irregular shape in the subpleural region of the right apical segment. Thoracoscopy showed a chondromatous tumor in the extrapleural region. The tumor resection was uneventful. Pathology study showed a hamartoma outside the visceral pleura.
