ABSTRACT
Pulmonary hamartoma is the most common benign tumor of the lung. It accounts for 77% of all benign lung tumors but less than 1% of all lung tumors. Malignant alteration is -extremely rare. Surgical removal is therapy of choice. Uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery is an easy-to-learn variant of video-assisted thoracic surgery. The approach is very similar to classic thoracotomy. Instruments for both classic and video-assisted thoracic surgery can be combined. A case is presented of a 44-year-old female patient with pulmonary hamartoma treated by uniportal video-assisted -thoracic surgery as a new method used for the first time at our department.
