Sclerosing haemangioma of the lung: A case report

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-defined lesion in lower lobe of left lung. Bronchoscopic biopsy findings were suggestive of a carcinoid tumor. Later the tumor was removed by lobectomy. The distinctive constellation of histologic findings revealed it to be a sclerosing haemangioma.
