Pulmonary hamartomas are the most common benign neoplasm in the lung, with an average size of 1.0 to 2.0 cms. We report a case of a giant pulmonary hamartoma in a 79 year old male who presented respiratory symptoms. Chest tomography revealed a heterogeneous mass that occupies the lower half of the left hemitoriax. The patient underwent thoracotomy and resection of the mass. Gross examination of the surgical specimen showed a well circumscribed mass measuring 21 x 13 x 9.5 cms. The histopathological study confirmed the diagnosis of a giant pulmonar hamartoma of the chondroid tape
