A2 - Williams, Marcia A2 - Adams, Ann PY - 2020 T2 - Sugarbaker’s Adult Chest Surgery, 3e AB - Benign lung masses comprise a heterogeneous group of neoplastic lesions originating from pulmonary structures defined by their lack of malignant features histologically and their nonaggressive clinical behavior. This is evidenced by the absence of invasion into surrounding tissue planes or metastatic spread to other structures. Although benign lung tumors do not pose a significant health problem, complications can result if an obstructive lesion predisposes the patient to develop pneumonia, atelectasis, or hemoptysis.
