C. Wedge resection is curative.

DISCUSSION: Pulmonary hamartomas are benign masses consisting of cartilage, lymph tissue, fat, and epithelial elements. Eighty per cent are located in the lung periphery and are treated by a small wedge resection, usually with a thoracoscope. Most are asymptomatic, and there is no risk of malignant degeneration.
