ABSTRACT
A 16-year-old girl was transferred to the department of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery because of a spontaneous pneumothorax with prolonged air leakage. Chest computed tomography demonstrated a cystic lesion measuring 2×3 cm and involving the left upper lobe. Left upper lobectomy was performed via video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. A pathologic examination of the specimen revealed a mesenchymal cystic hamartoma. Despite the rarity of pulmonary mesenchymal cystic hamartoma, it should be considered a potential cause of pneumothorax for patients with a large pulmonary cyst. Further, surgical resection must be considered because serious complications such as hemothorax, hemoptysis, and malignant transformation have been reported.
