Pulmonary hamartochondromas are rare benign lesions that can be mistaken for pulmonary metastases in cancer patients. Such confusion can result in diagnostic errors and inappropriate treatment. In this article, we present a clinical case of pulmonary hamartochondromas in a breast cancer patient and discuss appropriate diagnostic and treatment methods for such lesions.
