Hamartoma is the commonest benign tumor of the lung. They usually present as an asymptomatic solitary solid nodule of varying size, located peripherally in the lung parenchyma and picked up incidentally in a chest X-ray. Rarely, they may be intra-bronchial in location. A giant cystic variant of hamartoma is very rare, with only a few cases reported in literature so far. It may be misdiagnosed as any other cystic disease of the lung and thus get mismanaged. We herewith present the images of a patient with a giant cystic pulmonary hamartoma who presented with respiratory distress.
