1/9. A case of sclerosing hemangioma surrounded by emphysematous change.A 44-year-old woman presented with high-grade fever. Chest radiography showed a 30 mm solitary pulmonary mass in the left lower lobe. Chest CT revealed a well-defined solid mass in the left lower lobe. On contrast-enhanced CT, the mass showed homogeneity and mild enhancement. There was an emphysematous portion in the surrounding lung parenchyma. The patient underwent partial lobectomy of the left lower lobe. The final diagnosis of sclerosing hemangioma with abundant vasculature was confirmed pathologically. pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma is a rare benign neoplasm. Some cases have been reported in which sclerosing hemangioma is surrounded by air spaces. We suggest that the air spaces around the tumor were formed by not only peritumoral bleeding but also a check-valve effect of the compressed bronchus.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = sclerosing, hemangioma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/9. Multiple sclerosing hemangiomas of the lung.Multifocal sclerosing hemangioma of the lung is a rare entity. While solitary pulmonary lesions by themselves are uncommon and few reports have been described, multifocal bilateral lesions are rare and limited instances have been cited in indexed medical literature. We herewith describe a case of multiple sclerosing hemangiomas of the lung, in a patient who also had a vascular malformation over the calf.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.85714285714286keywords = sclerosing, hemangioma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/9. Multiple sclerosing hemangiomas with a 10-year history.We report a case of multiple sclerosing hemangiomas arising in a 38-year-old woman. Computed tomography (CT) scans of the chest showed multiple small nodules in all lobes of the right lung. The nodule sizes ranged from a few millimeters to the largest of 3.1 cm, which was located in the right middle lobe. She underwent right middle lobectomy to confirm the histological diagnosis. The resected specimen revealed multiple sclerosing hemangiomas. We followed this patient by annual chest CT scans for 10 years and demonstrated that all residual nodules remained unchanged. This is the first report of stable multiple pulmonary sclerosing hemangiomas observed for such a long period.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = sclerosing, hemangioma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/9. Bilateral multiple pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma.We present herein a rare case of bilateral pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma, for which a differential diagnosis was made from metastatic lung tumors. A 32-year-old asymptomatic woman was referred to our hospital for further evaluation of abnormal chest shadows. A chest computed tomogram revealed two round, well-circumscribed masses in both sides of the lungs. Metastatic lung tumors were suspected, however, a primary lesion was not detected by several examinations. Thus, simultaneous video-assisted thoracic surgery for the bilateral tumors was performed. The tumors, measuring 16x13x12 mm in the left lung and 27x24x20 mm in the right lung, were resected, and then pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of sclerosing hemangioma. Her postoperative course was uneventful and she has been doing well without any sign of recurrence.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.85714285714286keywords = sclerosing, hemangioma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/9. An unusual case of three synchronous tumors in a young woman.The occurrence in the same young patient of three synchronous tumors deriving from different embryogenic tissues and without a clear correlation with a common etiopathogenic factor is very unusual. We report a case of a Caucasian woman submitted to wide resection of a large retroperitoneal liposarcoma and right radical nephrectomy for suspected tumor infiltration. Histological examination of the right ureter and renal pelvis showed the presence of a multifocal urothelial carcinoma that was clinically asymptomatic. Two months later, during follow-up, chest X-ray and computed tomography documented a coin lesion of the upper left lung, confirmed by positron emission tomography. This nodule was surgically removed and examined histologically, resulting in a diagnosis of sclerosing hemangioma. The patient is alive without evidence of recurrent disease.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = sclerosing, hemangioma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/9. pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma with metastasis to the mediastinal lymph node.During a routine health care evaluation, an abnormal shadow was detected in the chest roentgenogram of a 35-year-old man. Chest computed tomography scanning showed a nodule, approximately 3 cm in diameter, in the left S6 pulmonary segment with surrounding infiltration. bronchoscopy revealed obstruction of the left B6c bronchus by a tumor, for which biopsy was done but no definitive histologic diagnosis could be made. Then, left lower lobectomy was performed, and the tumor was diagnosed as a pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma. A mediastinal lymph node (no. 7) showed some metastatic tumor cells. As lymph node metastasis from pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma is very rare, we herein report the details of our case.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.85714285714286keywords = sclerosing, hemangioma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/9. pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma with pulmonary metastasis.We present a case of pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma with multiple involvements. pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma is a relatively rare neoplasm. Although it is thought to be benign, cases with lymph node metastasis or multiple pulmonary involvement have been reported in clinical settings. To date, no case has been reported with mortality due to sclerosing hemangioma, however its clinical characteristics of multiple spread and lymphnode metastasis have not yet been elucidated.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = sclerosing, hemangioma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/9. Sclerosing hemangioma of the lung: a benign tumour with potential for malignancy?pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma represents a rare neoplasm with variable potential for progression. This case report of a 35-year-old female with left-sided thoracic pain. Computed tomography revealed a centrally located, well-circumscribed and partially calcified lesion. Intraoperative findings were suggestive of a carcinoid tumour. The tumour was completely removed by lobectomy followed by systematic lymphadenectomy. The histopathological analysis revealed a sclerosing hemangioma, a rare benign neoplasm. Sclerosing hemangiomas (SHs) are true neoplasms derived from alveolar pneumocytes. However, little data is available on the potential malignant behaviour, such as lymphnode metastases, local recurrence, and the appearance of SH's. Generally, wedge resection is justified in the majority of cases, but in cases of uncertain intraoperative diagnosis, anatomic resection with systematic lymphadenectomy is recommended.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.49285932728979keywords = sclerosing, hemangioma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/9. radiology-pathology conference: sclerosing hemangioma of the lung.Sclerosing hemangioma (SH) is a relatively rare, benign neoplasm of the lung. Although there are relatively characteristic imaging findings, biopsy remains the definitive diagnostic test. We report the radiology and pathology of a patient with a SH, with emphasis on the computed tomographic and (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography findings, and review the literature on this unusual tumor.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.61285757974367keywords = sclerosing, hemangioma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
