Pulmonary Hamartomas: Clinicopathologic Evaluation of 30 Cases

Abstract

Pulmonary hamartomas are the most common benign tumors of lung. They are mostly solitary, and are located peripherally. These tumors are composed of varying amounts of cartilage, fatty, smooth muscle and fibrous tissue as they originate from mesenchymal cells. Thirty cases, which were diagnosed as pulmonary hamartoma at the Department of Pathology between 2005 and 2014, were examined retrospec-tively in this study. Patients' data including age, sex, complaint, clinical and/or radiological diagnosis, tumor localization, surgical procedure, tumor size, and histopathological findings were recorded. Of the 30 cases, 20 were male and 10 were female, with a male-to-female ratio of 2. The age range of the study population was between 25 and 75 years, and the mean age was 54.5 years. The most common complaint was cough, which was present in 78% symptomatic patients (14 out of 18). In 16 (53%) patients, tumor was localized in the right lung. Wedge resection was performed in all patients except one. In macroscopic examination, tumor size ranged between 0.3 cm and 9 cm, with a mean size of 2.1 cm. One patient was detected to have an adenocarcinoma of lung originating from the same lobe as hamartoma. It should always be kept in mind that a malignancy may accompany a pulmonary hamartoma. Therefore, the nontumoral parenchyma should be carefully examined and sampled during the macroscopic dissection.
