Benign sclerosing pneumocytoma of lung (sclerosing haemangioma)

K W Chan et al. Thorax. 1982 Jun.

Abstract

The clinical and histopathological features of 14 cases of so-called sclerosing haemangioma of the lung are described. All developed in Hong Kong Chinese women. Histochemical and ultrastructural study of these tumours indicates an epithelial origin. The term benign sclerosing pneumocytoma is suggested as being more appropriate for this unusual tumour.
