Overview
Hamartomas may be classified into different types based on their location, such as: lung (most common), heart, hypothalamus, kidneys, or spleen. Other classifications can consider lesion class, dividing hamartomas into 4 different categories, such as: Bone-forming, cartilage-forming, fiber-forming, and benign non–matrix-forming.[1]
Classification
Location
- Heart
- Rhabdomyoma[2]
- Hypothalamus
- Hypothalamic hamartoma[2]
- Kidneys
- Angiomyolipoma[2]
- Spleen
- Splenic hamartoma[2]
Lesion class
Based on the lesion class, hamartomas can be classified into the following types:[1]
- Bone-forming tumors
- Cartilage-forming tumors
- Fiber-forming tumors
- Nonossifying fibroma
- Fibrous dysplasia
- Mazabraud syndrome
- Benign non–matrix-forming tumors
