Multiple cystic hamartomas are rare benign lung tumors that can be mistaken for cancer. Surgical removal led to a full recovery for a patient with this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Pathology
  • Gynecologic Oncology

Background:

  • Multiple cystic hamartomas are uncommon benign lung neoplasms.
  • These hamartomas can present with diverse clinical manifestations.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial to differentiate from malignant conditions.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with pneumothorax secondary to multiple cystic hamartomas.
  • The patient subsequently developed a cystic myxomatous vaginal polyp.
  • Surgical resection of the vaginal polyp and three pulmonary cysts was performed.

Findings:

  • The patient experienced a complete recovery following surgical intervention.
  • No recurrence or adverse events were noted 13 years post-operation.
  • Multiple cystic hamartomas can exhibit extra-pulmonary manifestations.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering rare diagnoses in patients with complex presentations.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis of multiple cystic hamartomas can prevent misdiagnosis as pulmonary metastases.
  • Complete resection offers a favorable long-term prognosis for patients with multiple cystic hamartomas.
