The topic Chondroma of Lung you are seeking is a synonym, or alternative name, or is closely related to the medical condition Pulmonary Chondroma.

Quick Summary:

• Pulmonary Chondroma is a rare and benign tumor composed of cartilage that can affect the lung tissue in most cases, or the bronchus (the bronchial airways) in some cases
• These lung tumors are solitary and may be observed in men and women. The exact cause of Pulmonary Chondroma is unknown, but they are typically known to be associated with ‘Carney triad’
• When Pulmonary Chondroma occurs as part of the non-familial syndrome known as Carney triad, it may be observed along with gastric epithelioid leiomyosarcoma (a cancerous tumor of the stomach) and functional extra-adrenal paraganglioma (a non-cancerous tumor affecting the adrenal gland)
• Pulmonary Chondromas may present chest pain, cough, and fever that may lead to complications such as pneumonia and obstruction of the airways
• The healthcare provider may undertake treatment (surgical removal of the tumor) in case it causes worrisome signs and symptoms. Treating the underlying Carney triad disorder (if present) is also undertaken
• The prognosis of sporadic Pulmonary Chondroma is typically good, since these are benign tumors. When these tumors form part of Carney’s triad, the outcome is linked to the severity and management of the underlying disorder
