Solitary pulmonary chondroma in a 59-year-old Caucasian woman: a case report
Article in BMC pulmonary medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPulmonary chondroma is a rare benign tumor made of chondrocytes, typically presenting radiologically as solitary or multiple pulmonary nodules. It can also be encountered in the Carney's triad, which associates pulmonary chondroma, gastro-intestinal stromal tumors (GIST) and adrenal paraganglioma. We report a rare case of pulmonary chondroma presenting with atypical radiological features. CASE PRESENTATION: A 59-year-old woman was referred for chronic dyspnea and a smoking history of 40 pack-years quitted 9 years ago. Pulmonary function tests revealed a moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. A thoraco-abdominal CT-scan revealed a 2-cm non-calcified nodule of the left lower lobe with a low [18 F] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18 F-FDG) uptake (SUV max: 1,1). Fiberoptic bronchoscopy was normal. Surgical resection of the nodule was performed revealing a benign tumor made of mature cartilage allowing the diagnosis of a pulmonary chondroma. No evidence of GIST or adrenal paraganglioma was identified. No recurrence was observed after 24 months of follow-up.
conclusionThe occurrence of pulmonary chondroma is uncommon. Its potential association with GIST or paragangliomas warrants careful, long-term surveillance.
