Abstract

Eight cases of solitary intrapulmonary hamartomas are presented to show the unusually high frequency of calcification (75%, six of eight cases) in this series. Possible contributory factors were high percentage of chondromatous variant (seven of eight cases), large size of the tumors, and use of computed tomography.
