A case of a subpleural pulmonary hamartoma demonstrated by computed tomography is presented. The literature on subpleural pulmonary lesions demonstrated by computed tomography is reviewed. Although peripheral pulmonary hamartomas have been well documented, we believe this is the first demonstration of a subpleural location by computed tomography scanning. In the appropriate clinical setting, pulmonary hamartoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of subpleural lesions identified on computed tomography scanning of the chest.
