Definition
A benign neoplasm that arises from the lung. It is characterized by the presence of mesenchymal tissues admixed with entrapped respiratory epithelium. The majority of cases are peripheral and asymptomatic. A minority of cases arise endobronchially and present with signs and symptoms of bronchial obstruction. Wedge resection or bronchoplastic resection is usually curative. Recurrence is very rare.

Key figures
Each figure carries its unit, period and source; ranks link to "Why this rank?".
No registry-level ancestor: burden figures are published for the mutually exclusive top-level site groups only, and this entity does not descend from one. Global figures (IARC / GLOBOCAN) stay under license review and SEER awaits credentials.
