Abstract
The present study is the first specifically concerned with the CT and PET/CT characteristics of a pathologically confirmed series of lung hamartomas. Our findings support the role of PET/CT in characterizing solitary lung nodules, although about 20% of (mainly large size) hamartomas had uptake characteristics suggesting malignancy.
