“…Only one patient had multiple bilateral lesions that showed stability on follow-up, even after 4 years, concordant with outcomes described in previous case reports, suggesting that multiplicity does not necessarily imply biological aggressiveness. [6][7][8] One patient was found to have nodal metastasis, in line with the 2%-4% rate previously reported. 9 We would still classify this as a benign tumor because recurrence is reported to be very rare, even amongst those with lymph node involvement, and no mortality has been reported in the literature.…”

Pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma is a rare benign tumor for which surgical excision is curative with an excellent prognosis. It often mimics malignancy, making it a diagnostic and management challenge. We reviewed the clinical, radiological, and histopathological characteristics as well as the surgical management of our patients to assess the potential pitfalls in management. All 19 patients who underwent surgical biopsy between January 1999 and December 2009 with a final histopathological diagnosis of pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma were reviewed retrospectively. The median age was 48 years, 89.5% were female, 89.5% were Chinese, and 68.4% were asymptomatic. There were no specific diagnostic radiological characteristics; 1 of 3 patients who underwent combined positron-emission and computed tomography had a false-positive result. Preoperative attempts at establishing a diagnosis were successful in 20% of patients who had invasive procedures. Intraoperative frozen-section evaluation for pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma had an error rate of 25% and a deferred rate of 31%, resulting in nearly half of our patients undergoing unnecessary extensive surgical procedures. We hope to heighten awareness of this diagnosis, thereby increasing the index of suspicion and minimizing errors in diagnosis.

“…Although solitary pulmonary sclerosing hemangiomas with rapid progression 10 or lymph node metastases 5 have been reported, the previously reported multiple lesions have been slow-growing. 7,8 In addition, the nodule in the right lower lobe in the current case did not change over 9 years, which suggested that multiple sclerosing hemangiomas follow a benign clinical course.…”

“…3,[5][6][7][8][9] Multiple lesions have been reported to account for 4% of all cases, 5 and only a few cases of bilateral lesions have been reported thus far in the English-language literature. [7][8][9] Three nodules were bilaterally found on chest CT in the current case. At fi rst, these fi ndings suggested metastatic lung tumors because they were all well-defi ned circumscribed nodules.…”

This report presents a case of bilateral multiple sclerosing hemangiomas of the lung in a 73-year-old woman. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest showed a total of three well-defined small nodules in the right and left lower lobes of the lung. Because malignant metastatic lung tumors were highly suspected, a wedge resection of the left lower lobe was performed to obtain a definitive diagnosis. Histopathologically, two tumors of the left lower lobe were composed of epithelial-like cuboidal cells covering the surface of papillary protrusions and sheets of round to polygonal cells underneath the epithelial-like cells. The final diagnosis was that both tumors were sclerosing hemangiomas. After surgery the residual lesion of the right lower lobe was carefully followed by chest CT. The size of the right lung nodule did not change over the course of 9 years, and no new lesion has emerged.

Sclerosing haemangioma is a rare neoplasm of the lung which behaves in a clinically benign fashion. Herein, a case of sclerosing haemangioma of the lung in a 52 years old woman is reported. She presented with symptoms of cough and chest pain. Chest X -ray and CT scan showed a well -defi ned lesion in lower lobe of left lung. Bronchoscopic biopsy fi ndings were suggestive of a carcinoid tumor. Later the tumor was removed by lobectomy. The distinctive constellation of histologic fi ndings revealed it to be a sclerosing haemangioma.
