Abstract

Benign cystic teratomas of the lung are extremely rare. Up to the present time, around 30 cases have been reported in the literature. We report an additional case, a 28-year-old woman, admitted with the complaint of expectoration of hair. Histopathological, clinical, and CT features are presented.
