Sclerosing hemangioma of the lung: radiological findings and pathological diagnosis

Pediatr Radiol. 1995 Nov:25 Suppl 1:S207-8.

Abstract

We present a case of sclerosing hemangioma of the lung, revealed as a solitary round mass on routine chest radiography in a 14-year-old patient. CT and MRI findings were consistent with a solid neoplasm but no specific characteristics were identified. Analysis of the surgical biopsy material led to a cytological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma. Definitive diagnosis of sclerosing hemangioma of the lung was established on pathological examination of the whole surgical specimen.
