Differential diagnosis of tuberculoma, malignant neoplasms and hamartoma is necessary. We present the tuberculosis patient with pulmonary hamartoma mimicking lung tuberculoma. The uncorrected diagnosis of tuberculoma was made based on symptoms and CT imaging. However, histopathologic analysis of surgically enucleated tumor confirmed non-infectious origin of the lesion (hamartoma with hyaline cartilage predominance). %A Krawczyk, Paweł %A Wojas-Krawczyk, Kamila %A Czekajska-Chehab, Elżbieta %A Kieszko, Robert %A Zdunek, Małgorzata %A Sawicki, Marek %A Milanowski, Janusz %P 371-373 %9 journal article %U https://www.termedia.pl/Pulmonary-hamartoma-mimicking-lung-tuberculoma-r-nin-tuberculosis-patient-a-case-report,40,17436,1,1.html
