Overview
On chest radiography, lung hamartomas are characterized by a sharply demarcated pulmonary nodule and popcorn calcification (feature of chondroid calcifications in hamartomas).
Chest X Ray
- Chest radiography (CXR) is non-specific and demonstrates soft tissue attenuation and a well-circumscribed mass with either smooth or lobulated margins.[1][2][3][4][5]
- On chest radiography, common findings of pulmonary hamartoma include:
- Calcification ("popcorn pattern")
- Popcorn pattern is a reliable indicator of a benign lesion but is present in only a minority of cases[1]
- Fat: the lesion is typically of low density for its size[6]
- Calcification ("popcorn pattern")
- There are no CXR findings associated with other types of harmartomas[1]
