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.
