Introduction: Pulmonary cystic hamartoma is a rare benign cystic mass of the lung with clinical symptoms and radiological features that are not typical. Case presentation: A 43-year-old Indonesian female complained of chest and right shoulder pain, especially in the right clavicle. The patient underwent a chest X-ray and computed tomography scan thorax contrast, resulting in an anterior mediastinal tumor. The patient underwent wedge resection, and anatomical pathology showed pulmonary cystic hamartoma. The patient experienced postsurgery improvement. Discussion: Pulmonary cystic hamartoma does not have typical signs and symptoms. Pulmonary hamartoma diagnosis cannot be confirmed until a pathology anatomy examination is performed. Wedge resection is the first choice to treat pulmonary cystic hamartoma. Conclusion: Pulmonary cystic hamartoma is diagnosed with examination from pathology anatomy.
