The sclerosing hemangioma of the lung is rare, benign neoplasms, which are usually solitary, Althoughh their histologic apperances are distinct and well-defined, their histogenesis is uncertain. We experienced a typical lesion of pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma clinically and histologically, which was removed from the right lobe of 64-year-old female. We disccused histogenesis, microscopic feature and progress of the sclerosing hemangioma.

So-called sclerosing hemangioma of the lung is a rare benign neoplasm of uncertain histiogenesis, with a complex but characteristic histologic appearance. We experienced a typical lesion of pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma clinically and histologically, which was removed from the right lower lobe of 22-year-old male and was reviewed by Darryl Carter at Yale University. We discussed histiogenesis, microscopic features and prognosis of the sclerosing hemangioma.

Sclerosing hemangiomas of the lung are uncommon benign tumors. Although their histologic appearances are distinct and well-defined, their histogenesis is uncertain. Liebow and Hubbell reported seven cases of unusual pulmonary lesions which they named sclerosing hemangiomas in 1856. Similar cases had previously been reported under different names: Xanthoma, pulmonary histiocytoma, Xanthofibroma. We have experienced 3 cases of sclerosing hemangioma of lung at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Yonsei University, college of Medicine, Seoul, Korea during a period of December 1985 through September 1988. This report is an early result of surgical treatment of three patients with pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma and their pathologic findings.

A 42 years old woman underwent F-18 FDG PET because of the incidentally detected lung mass on chest X-ray. PET/CT showed hypermetabolic lesion in the lung right upper lobe and the lung cancer was suspected because of the high FDG uptake. However, pathologic diagnosis was sclerosing hemangioma. There are few reports on the evaluation of sclerosing hemangioma using FDG PET. A report showed a slightly increased uptake (standardized uptake ratio of 1.8) (1), and another report showed unsatisfactory result (2). We suggest that sclerosing hemangioma could be seen as hypermetabolic lesion on the FDG PET.

폐의 경화성 혈관종은 비교적 드문 양성 질환으로 특이한 방사선 소견을 보여주나 조직소견이 상당히 다양하여 동결절편이나 조직생검시 악성조양과 감별하기가 어려울 수 있다. 최근 저자들은 54세, 52세, 51세의 여자환자에서 각각 발생한 경화성 혈관종 3예를 경험하였다. 광학 현미경상 이들은 Liebow등이 기술한 소견과 일치하였다. 기원세포에 관해서는 아직 논란이 많으나 최근 내피세포보다는 상피세포에 더 주의를 기울이고 있다.

Sclerosing hemangiomas of lung are benign neoplasms of uncertain histogenesis. They have variegated histologic appearance characterized by an admixture of solid, hemorrhagic, papillary and sclerotic lesions. We have experienced a case of sclerosing hemangioma of lung recently. She was 43 year-old woman and suffered only from mild vague chest pain. Well circumscribed round mass was placed at the right hilum. Mass enucleation was done and she was recovered and discharged with event free.

Sclerosing hemangioma is a rare, benign neoplasm of the lung, usually presented as a solitary pulmonary nodule in an otherwise asymptomatic middle-aged woman. Cytologically it shows papillary, sheet, and cyst-like arrangements representing three main histologic patterns of papillary, solid, and angiomatous ones, respectively. Herein, we report the fine needle aspiration cytology of 5 cases of sclerosing hemangioma of the lung. The most characteristic finding is cyst-like spaces Intimately related to the papillary or solid cell nests. The tumor cells are relatively monotonous round to oval, small to medium in size. They have small amount of eosinophilic cytoplasm. The nuclei are uniform, round and have small but conspicuous nucleoli. The tumor cells in one of the presenting cases are large with abundant cytoplasm and show moderate nuclear pleomorphism. The nuclear chromatin, however, is fine and even without exception, even in the case showing nuclear pleomorphism. Major differential diagnoses based on the cytologic findings are well-differentiated papillary adenocarcinoma, bronchioloalveolar carcinoma, and carcinoid tumor.

So-called sclerosing hemangioma of the lung is a rare benign neoplasm which usually presents with a coin lesion detected through routine chest X-ray. We report two cases showing characteristic cytologic appearances which have been rarely reported. Both cases were young females with coin lesions in the lung. Fine needle aspiration of each case revealed unique but some different cytologic features. Case 1 showed bland-looking polygonal epithelial cells resembling bronchioloalveolar cells haying predominantly papillary configurations with loosely arranged solid sheets or isolated cells. Cytoplasms were plump, cyanophilic, and finely granular, with eccentric nuclei. The nuclei were usually monotonous, round-to-ovoid, and vesicular with a small but conspicuous nucleolus. In comparison to case 1, case 2 revealed largely loose pavement-like solid sheets or clusters rather than papillary patterns in the hemorrhagic background. The size of tumor cells were a little smaller than that of case 1. Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma and papillary adenocarcinoma of metastatic origin were considered to be one of the important differential diagnoses with these cytologic features. Histologically, both cases exhibited findings compatible with so-called sclerosing hemangioma of the lung.

Background: Pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma is a rare thoracic tumor, and pathophysiology or clinical course of this tumor is not yet fully described. Furthermore, there is no consensus on the standard operative procedure for this tumor. Material and Methods: Medical records of thirty-two patients, who underwent surgical resection of pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma from 1996 to 2007, were retrospectively reviewed. Results: Nineteen patients underwent lobectomy and thirteen patients underwent limited resection. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery was performed in 9 patients in the latter group. Lymph node dissection was done in 21 patients, and one patient was found to have lymph node metastasis of the tumor. There was no postoperative complication, no early death and no tumor-related late mortality. The mean follow-up duration was 39.3 months (2 months~129 months), and all patients were free of local recurrence and distant metastasis during this period. There was no significant difference in patient's characteristics between the two groups, except that the mean hospital stay was shorter in limited resection group than in lobectomy group (p=0.0031). Conclusion: Pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma usually requires surgical resection for both diagnosis and treatment. Limited resection can decrease hospital stay with a surgical outcome comparable to lobectomy, and may be preferred to lobectomy if sufficient resection margin can be achieved.

경화성 혈관종으로 흔히 부르는 폐세포종(pneumocytoma)은 간혹 다발성으로 발생한 예가 보고되나 림 프절로 전이된 예는 문헌상 세계적으로 1예만이 보고되었다. 연세의대 흉부외과에서는 29세의 남자에서 우연히 발견된 우측 폐문부 폐종괴를 수술전 폐암(선암) 진 단하에 우상엽폐절제술 및 림프절박리술을 시행한 결과, 조직병리검사상 림프절 전이를 동반한 폐세포종 을 경험하였다. 폐세포종은 양성 종양으로 알려져 있으나 매우 드문 경우에서 전이할 수 있음을 보였다.
