Benign lung tumors make up 2-5% of primary lung tumors and can originate from pulmonary structures. While benign tumors are not cancerous, some can still impact lung function depending on their location. The most common benign lung tumor is hamartoma, accounting for 55% of cases. Other types include papillomas, which grow in bronchial tubes, and adenomas. Benign lung tumors tend to affect males more than females between the ages of 50-70. Precise incidence is unknown as many are asymptomatic.

- 2. Benign tumour ofthe lung. Benign lung tumour are a heterogenous group of neoplastic lesions originating from pulmonary structures. The term Benign may be misleading because these interface with lung function.(E. g.. Obstruction of a major bronchus may occur), depending upon tumour location. Benign tumours make up 2-5% of all primary lung tumours. The exact incidence is not known because these tumours are often asymptomatic and are only detected during autopathy. Reported series suggest that benign lung tumours affect men more frequently than women. The age range of patients affected is 17-77 years, with a mean age of 56 years for all types.
- 4. Benign lung tumors: Arenot cancerous, so will not spread to other parts of the body , Grow slowly, or might even stop growing or shrink, Are usually not life-threatening , Usually do not need to be removed Can expand and push against nearby tissues but will not invade, destroy, or replace other tissues Hamartoma There are a number of different kinds of benign lung tumors, the most common being hamartomas. They account for about 55% of all benign lung tumors, and 8% of all lung tumors. Characteristics of lung hamartomas: About 80% are found in the peripheral, or outer, portion of the lung’s connective tissue. The remainder are found inside the bronchial tubes (the airways leading to the lungs). Deeper growths may be difficult to distinguish from cancerous nodules. Are made up of “normal” tissues such as cartilage, connective tissue, fat, and muscle but in abnormal amounts Are usually less than 4 centimeters in diameter Stay within a limited area and are not likely to press against nearby tissue Usually appear in chest X-rays as a coin-like round growth May look like fluffy wool or popcorn in about 15% of cases Are found more often in males than females, and between the ages of 50 and 70
- 5. Papilloma Another type ofbenign lung tumor is called a papilloma. It grows in the bronchial tubes, sticking out from the surface area where it is attached. Papillomas are not very common and are divided into three types. Categories of pulmonary papillomas: Squamous Occur in both children and adults May appear as just one nodule or many Result from infection by human papilloma virus (HPV), the same virus that causes warts and certain sexually transmitted diseases Glandular No cause has been identified Are less common than squamous papillomas Develop in larger airways than squamous papillomas Can occur in all ages but mostly adults Almost always appear as one nodule, centrally located Mixed squamous and glandular Contain a mix of squamous and glandular papilloma tissue Only a small number of cases have been reported Has the potential to eventually turn cancerous because the squamous cells can change over time.
- 6. Alveolar Adenoma Alveolaradenomas are unusual neoplasms that are typically identified in the periphery of the lung. Originally described in 1986 by Yousem and these tumors have been identified in adults ranging in age from 39 to 74 years, usually as an asymptomatic solitary pulmonary nodule. Alveolar adenomas are soft, multicystic, and lobulated. No definite gender predilection has been identified. Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Lung. Solitary fibrous tumors are typically pleural-based tumors, but intrapulmonary examples have been described.50,51 Pulmonary SFTs are generally peripheral; they are sometimes on the pulmonary parenchymal side of the pleura but in some instances are completely separate from the pleura. They are firm and white with a whorled appearance. Solitary fibrous tumors may derive from submesothelial fibroblasts. Hemangiomas are a build-up of blood vessel cells in the skin or internal organs. Hemangiomas are a common type of birthmark, often occurring in the head, neck or trunk. They may appear red or bluish in colour. Most go away on their own. Those that interfere with vision, hearing or eating may require treatment.
- 7. Leiomyomas. Primary solitarypulmonary leiomyomas can be endobronchial or parenchymal. Multiple smooth muscle tumors of the lung in women with history of uterine leiomyomas are more likely part of the entity of benign metastasizing leiomyoma. Chondromas. Chondromas are tumors composed of hyaline or myxohyaline cartilage without epithelial elements or other mesenchymal elements. Although these can represent isolated, sporadic tumors, such tumors with myxoid stroma in young women require examination for the Carney triad (gastric smooth muscle tumors, paraganglioma, chondromas). Lipomas. These can be intraparenchymal or endobronchial, the latter being more common.58 These tumors must be composed solely of adipose tissue; any component of lobulated cartilage or epithelial ingrowth on cleft like spaces raises the possibility of an adipose tissue–rich hamartoma. Granular Cell Tumors. Benign tumor classifications included granular cell myoblastoma (granular cell tumor), although these do not appear to be common benign lung tumors. In limited series of cases, these tumors occur in adults (average age, 40 years) with a male predominance. They are usually central tumors and therefore more likely to be symptomatic with cough, obstruction, or hemoptysis. They are often irregular and locally invasive and therefore can recur after conservative resection, but they do not metastasize.

Signs and symptoms which may suggest lung cancer include: respiratory symptoms: coughing, coughing up blood, wheezing or shortness of breath systemic symptoms: weight loss, fever, clubbing of the fingernails, or fatigue symptoms due to the cancer mass pressing on adjacent structures: chest pain, bone pain, superior vena cava obstruction, difficulty swallowing If the cancer grows in the airways, it may obstruct airflow, causing breathing difficulties. The obstruction can lead to accumulation of secretions behind the blockage, and predispose to pneumonia.
