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.

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.
