“…Infantile hemangiomas are not present at birth but are present before 1 year of age and are GLUT1 positive. Although infantile hemangioma is the most common tumor of infancy, few cases have been reported previously in the lung parenchyma or bronchus in children (34)(35)(36). Infantile hemangiomas have a 2.8:1 predominance in girls and are associated with prematurity (37).…”

“…Imaging Features.-At imaging, pulmonary infantile hemangiomas may appear as a solid diffusely and avidly enhancing mass with sharply defined borders ( Fig 5) (34,35). Other reported imaging features include cystic masses, multiple enhancing masses, and endobronchial masses (36). An enlarged pulmonary artery or vein has been reported (34,35).…”

Primary lung tumors in children are rare, with a narrow range of diagnostic considerations. However, the overlapping imaging appearances of these tumors necessitate attention to key discriminating imaging and pathologic features. In the neonate and infant, the important considerations include pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB), infantile fibrosarcoma, and fetal lung interstitial tumor. Among these tumors, imaging findings such as air-filled cysts in type 1 PPB and homogeneously low attenuation of fetal lung interstitial tumors are relatively specific. Key pathologic and genetic discriminators among this group of tumors include the DICER1 germline mutation found in PPB and the t(12,15)(p13;q25) translocation and ETV6-NTRK3 fusion gene seen in infantile fibrosarcoma. Primary lung tumors in older children include inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs), carcinoid salivary gland-type tumors of the lung, recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, and other rare entities. IMT, a spindle-cell proliferation with inflammatory elements, is the most common lung tumor in children. Anaplastic lymphoma kinase, a receptor-type protein tyrosine kinase, is present in 50% of these tumors, and this finding may support an imaging diagnosis of IMT. Carcinoid tumors account for a substantial portion of childhood lung tumors, and their characteristic avid enhancement on images corresponds to the compressed fibrovascular stroma histologically. Furthermore, novel imaging agents used with somatostatin receptor analogs have an emerging role in the evaluation of carcinoid tumors. Although less common than mucoepidermoid carcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma tends to recur given the perineural spread seen histologically. Integrating radiologic and pathologic knowledge is critical to accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and surveillance of primary lung tumors in children.Abbreviations: CPAM = congenital pulmonary airway malformation, FDG = fluorodeoxyglucose, FLIT = fetal lung interstitial tumor, GLUT1 = glucose transporter 1, IMT = inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, NUT = nuclear protein in testis, PPB = pleuropulmonary blastoma, RRP = recurrent respiratory papillomatosis

“…Copy@ Khin Phyu Pyar Pulmonary hemangiomas have a broad range of clinical presentations depending on the location, size and number of lesions. Pulmonary lesion may present as respiratory symptoms, pressure symptoms, hemoptysis, hemothorax due to rupture into pleural cavity [11,12]. Involvement of both lungs was seen; it presented as multiple nodule in lung [11,13,14].…”

A solitary pulmonary nodule with rib erosion underneath is malignant until proved otherwise. The patient was 45years old nonsmoker presented with cough off and on for 3years. Chest radiograph and CT scan revealed a mass in right upper chest with erosion of the 4 th rib. She underwent resection of tumor including 4 th rib; the histology was compatible with haemangioma of the rib. She had history of a small nodular lesion over dorsum of her left hand for two years; and the excisional biopsy revealed haemangioma.
