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

Based on the location, hamartomas can be classified into the following types:[2]

  • Lung
    • Endobronchial pulmonary hamartoma
    • Parenchymal pulmonary hamartoma
  • Heart
    • Rhabdomyoma
  • Hypothalamus
    • Hypothalamic hamartoma
  • Kidneys
    • Angiomyolipoma
  • Spleen
    • Splenic hamartoma

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
