Overview
The incidence of pulmonary hamartoma is approximately 0.25% in general population. The incidence of other hamartomas remains unknown. Pulmonary hamartomas are estimated to be 8% of all lung neoplasms. Most lesions are diagnosed incidentally. Hamartomatous syndromes are usually first diagnosed among adolescents and adult patients. In general, most hamartomas affect males more commonly than females.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of pulmonary hamartoma is approximately 0.25% in general population.[1][2][3]
- The incidence of bone-forming tumors is approximately 1% in general population.
- Pulmonary hamartomas are estimated to be 8% of all lung neoplasms. The majority of pulmonary hamartomas are diagnosed incidentally.[4][5]
- The incidence of other hamartomas remains unknown.
Age
- Pulmonary hamartomas are usually first diagnosed among patients in the 4th and 7th decades of life.[2]
- Bone islands often occur in children than adults.
- Pulmonary hamartomas are very uncommon in children.[2]
- Hypothalamic hamartomas are usually first diagnosed during puberty.[6]
- Cardiac hamartomas are usually first diagnosed among adolescents and young adults.[7]
- Kidney hamartomas are usually first diagnosed among middle age adults.[8]
Gender
- Males are more commonly affected with pulmonary hamartomas than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 3 to 1.[2]
- Males are slightly more affected with hypothalamic hamartomas than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 1.3 to 1.
- Females are more commonly affected with kidney hamartomas than males. The female to male ratio is approximately 4 to 1.
- Cardiac hamartoma affects males and females equally.
- Osteosarcomas most commonly affect males than females.
Race
- There is no racial predilection to hypothalamic hamartoma.[9]
