Abstract
We describe herein the case of a 52-year-old man found to have a solitary p ulmonary lymphangioma. Computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated a nodule nifh homogeneous density and a well-defined border in the lower lobe of the right lung. T2-Weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a nodule with homogeneously high signal intensity. The tumor was removed by partial resection, and pathologic examination confirmed a diagnosis of primary lym phangioma of the lung.
