Obstructive lung diseases
• COPD
• Asthma
• Bronchiectasis
• Upper / large airway
lesions
• Some ILDs – LAM,
PLCH, sarcoid
• Some bronchiolitis
• Miscellaneous
Hamartoma
• Most common benign neoplasm in lung (75% of benign lung tumors).
• 4% of SPNs.
• Benign tumor-like malformation - abnormal mixture of tissue elements
(cartilage, connective tissue, smooth muscle, fat, and respiratory
epithelium).
• All patient age groups
• Highest incidence in 4th - 7th decades.
• Asymptomatic
• Grow slowly, if at all.
• Diagnostic confirmation, if needed, by TTNA, bronch or VATS.
Hamartoma
CXR, CT: peripheral, solitary, round
or lobulated opacity; smooth
margins; generally 1-3 cm in size.
• Calcification in ~25%, small
flecks throughout the lesion
(“popcorn” calcification
infrequent).
• Areas of fat density by CT in
~50%.

(Molinari et al.
AJR 2011)
Pulmonary MALToma
• Primary pulmonary lymphomas - 0.5 - 1.0% of lung tumors.
• Most common type: extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-
associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), ie, MALT lymphoma or MALToma.
• Adults, median age 50-60 yr.
• Most asymptomatic (low-grade, indolent tumor).
• Association with autoimmune diseases, esp., Sjögren's.
• Treatment: observation, rituximab.
• Median survival >10 yr; sometimes dissemination, transformation.
