Primary Chondroma of the Lung

Primary chondroma of the lung is a benign tumor. One in the periphery of the right lower lobe of the lung with a known existence of 20 years with operation and recovery is presented. Chondroma and hamartoma as described in the literature may be one and the same tumor, with variations. This is a matter of histological debate and it seems that the histogenesis is the same. Both tumors are alike clinically in that they occur in practically the same places and have the same slow growth and provoke few or no symptoms. Excision is recommended until we become more adept at x-ray diagnosis.
