A rare case of sclerosing hemangioma of the lung with a review of literature

Laxmi Niwas Tiwari et al. Lung India. 2021 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

A rare case of sclerosing hemangioma (SH) of the lung is described in a 23-year-old gentleman, who presented with cough with expectoration, breathlessness, and left-sided chest pain with recurrence. We present a brief review of SH, an uncommon but histologically distinctive neoplasm of the lung. SH of the lung is generally considered to be a benign lesion, and surgical excision is curative without the need for additional treatment.

Keywords: Bronchoscopy; Histopathology; Lung; Sclerosing hemangioma.
