Fine-needle aspiration cytology of sclerosing hemangioma of the lung: case report with immunohistochemical study.
Sclerosing hemangioma of the lung (SHL) is a rare benign neoplasm, usually found incidentally on a routine chest X-ray. We present a case of SHL initially diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration cytology. Cytomorphologic characteristics were confirmed by a cell block examination and immunohistochemical findings. The differential diagnoses of the fine-needle aspiration are discussed.
