S. Rizzo et al., PULMONARY SCLEROSING HEMANGIOMA IN A WOMAN WITH MULTIPLE UTERINE FIBROMAS, CYSTS TO THYROID AND KIDNEY, Anticancer research, 16(3A), 1996, pp. 1297-1299
Pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma (PSH) is a relatively rare, homogenous
solitary tumor. Its complex histology may suggest a number of maligna
ncies. We report one case diagnosed in a 62-years-old woman with a ten
dency to benign tumors (uterine fibromas) and cystes (thyroide, kidney
). Bronchoscopy was normal. Pulmonary scintiscan was not done. Chest X
-ray showed a 2x2 cm solitary, dense, homogenous, delimited nodule of
the LLL. The intraoperatory diagnosis of adenocarcinoma led to lobecto
my. The final diagnosis of PSH was done on fixed and stained samples.
She is in good condition after 13 months of follow-up.
