Hamartoma of the Lung

A Clinical Study of 25 Cases

T. Calvin Blair M.D.1 and Richard B. McElvein M.D.2

1 Lansing, Michigan
2 Lexington, Kentucky

A series of 25 clinical cases of pulmonary hamartomas and their significant features has been presented. These usually appear in an asymptomatic patient with a lesion noted on x-ray anywhere in the lung parenchyma, appearing in men in the 40 to 50 year age group. The gross appearance of a firm yellow-white lesion which microscopically is composed of cartilage with an admixture of fat and epithelial clefts is demonstrated. The surgical therapy of the tumors usually consists of local excision. The long-term results in this type of tumor are excellent.
