“…The disease is also more common in middleaged Asian females (2-4). Moreover, numerous studies (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14) showed that PSP is a rare benign or low-grade malignant tumor, with the potential of lymph node metastasis, extra-pulmonary metastasis, multiple lesions, and recurrence. However, no fatal cases have been reported so far.…”

“…In addition, PSP generally develops slowly, showing no progress for many years and most patients display no obvious symptoms during medical examination (3,4). Moreover, previous research (5,6) showed that PSP is a single and benign tumor although some studies reported that it can present with multiple lesions and metastases, including lymph nodes (7,8), other lungs (9), liver (10), bone (11), pleura (12), and stomach (13), or even recurrence (14). Similarly, the present article reports on a patient that had a large PSP tumor with several lesions, vascular invasion and multiple metastases in the mediastinal lymph nodes, liver, celiac lymph nodes, and bones.…”

Pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma (PSP) is a rare benign or low-grade malignant tumor, but it has the potential to present with multiple lesions, lymph node metastasis, extra-pulmonary metastasis, recurrence and even cause death. Herein, a case of PSP that was huge, presented with multiple lesions and had lymph node as well as extrapulmonary metastases (liver, abdominal cavity, bones) is reported for the first time. This patient was also the first one to die of respiratory and circulatory failure caused by the PSP tumor and its metastases which compressed the mediastinal tissue.
