Pulmonary hamartoma is a common benign tumor that rarely degenerates into malignancy. This report documents a unique case of pulmonary hamartoma with malignant transformation into well-differentiated liposarcoma, coexisting in proximity to pulmonary nodules representing benign metastasizing leiomyoma in a 60-year-old woman.

Trends in pulmonary function in patients with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHD), a rare genetic disease characterized by multiple pulmonary cysts, can lead to spontaneous pneumothorax, cutaneous hamartomas, renal cysts, and renal cell cancer. The overall aim of this study was to assess clinical characteristics of patients with BHD-emphasizing on trends in pulmonary function patterns.
Methods: By use of data from electronic patient journals, we conducted a retrospective cohort study on clinical characteristics and pulmonary function tests (PFT) from patients with BHD, who were clinically followed-up in a Danish tertiary referral center for rare and interstitial lung diseases.

Hamartomas are benign tumors characterized by disorganized tissue native to a specific anatomical location. We present the case of a 61-year-old male with a history of COVID-19 infection who presented with a persistent cough. Chest tomography revealed an endobronchial lesion, which led to further investigation with a bronchoscopy.

A hamartoma is a benign tumor that arises from the disorganized proliferation of tissue and can occur anywhere in the body. Hamartomas are notably found in the lung, skin, heart, brain, and breast, while their occurrence in the head and neck is rare. We describe a case involving a 17-year-old male patient who presented with a mass in a unilateral palatine tonsil, discovered incidentally.

Canine apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) amyloidosis has only been reported as an age-related pulmonary vascular condition. In this report, the authors identified cutaneous ApoA-I amyloidosis within a fibroadnexal hamartoma in a dog. Based on proteomic analysis using mass spectrometry, the mechanism of ApoA-I amyloidogenesis is discussed.
