“…By light microscopy these two tumours were not only identical with each other but are the same lesion as the cases described by Goorwitch and Madoff (1955), Liebow and Hubbell (1956), and also the case described by Hill and Eggleston (1972). Both the present lesions have the papillary pattern, the lipid and the sclerotic stroma described by Liebow and Hubbell.…”

“…This group includes the cases of Edwards and Taylor (1938), Scott, Morrow, and Payne (1948), Umiker and Iverson (1954), Titus, Harrison, Clagett, Anderson, and Knaff (1962), Sherwin, Kern, and Jones (1965), Wentworth et al (1968), Dubilier, Bryant, and Danielson (1968), Kaufman, Goldberg, and Tyagi (1968), and Long, Nutt, and MacArthur (1970). These authors make no mention of a papillary element in their cases which is such a feature of the cases of Goorwitch and Madoff (1955), Liebow and Hubbell (1956), Hill and Eggleston (1972), and the present two cases. It is also of interest that, in a paper on pulmonary adenomatosis, Eversole and Rienhoff (1959) illustrate in their fig 1 a lesion which shows a close similarity to the present cases and which they regarded as a form of benign pulmonary adenomatosis.…”

SYNOPSIS 'Sclerosing haemangioma' is a name which has been applied to a group of uncommon benign pulmonary lesions characterized by their papillary nature, a sclerotic stroma containing lipid, and, in some cases, evidence of haemorrhage. There is little evidence that these lesions are really angiomatous. Studies of two examples removed surgically after being discovered as incidental radiographic findings, show that the cells lining the papillae have large vacuoles which contain whorled, electron-dense inclusions. These epithelial cells have the features of granular pneumonocytes, cells known to contain phospholipid. Both lipid and cholesterol are abundant in the stroma of both tumours and the lipid is distributed in a nodular fashion. Histochemically the lipid gives a strong reaction to stains for phospholipid and it is suggested that the lipid is derived, not from the haemorrhage, but is produced by the epithelial element of the tumour.
