Pulmonary hamartoma: unusual radiologic appearance.

abstract：:We studied the chest radiographs of 30 patients (39 thoracotomies) after resection of pulmonary nodules with a neodymium-YAG laser. New "nodules" were often visible in the resected areas. These gradually evolved into linear scars with or without a small, nodular component or disappeared. In 11 of 39 thoracotomies, pos...
