Pulmonary Hilar Tumor: An Unusual Presentation of Sclerosing Hemangioma

Abstract: Pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma is an uncommon benign tumor of the lung; however, on rare occasions it can arise from the pulmonary hilar region. Herein, we report a 53-year-old female patient who presented with a round opacity in the right upper lung field on a radiograph. Chest computed tomography scanning revealed a 3.1 cm mass in the right pulmonary hilum. Thoracoscopic tumor excision was subsequently performed. On pathohistologic study, the tumor was well defined and composed of round stromal cells and su… Show more

“…If not diagnosed properly, this tumor can lead to postobstructive pneumonia [ 7 ]. Furthermore, bronchial cytology may be insufficient for the definitive diagnosis; therefore, a biopsy should be performed whenever possible [ 8 , 9 ]. Asymptomatic presentation can be related to extremely rare cases of SP with pleural dissemination.…”

“…The size of 33 PSP lesions was negatively correlated with the acceleration index (r = -0.845, P < 0.001). The central lesions were larger than the peripheral lesions (10.39 ± 3.25 cm 3 vs. 4.65 ± 2.61 cm 3 , P = 0.013). There was no difference in CT den-…”

“…Larger lesions near the hilum may be more likely to cause respiratory symptoms. 3 Lobectomy is often performed for central lesions, while enucleation or wedge resection is more common for peripheral lesions, without systematic lymph node dissection and subsequent radiochemotherapy. 4 However, the influence of tumor location on PSP imaging has not been specifically evaluated.…”
