title: Sclerosing hemangioma of the lung: radiological findings and pathological diagnosis.
abstract: We present a case of sclerosing hemangioma of the lung, revealed as a solitary round mass on routine chest radiography in a 14-year-old patient. CT and MRI findings were consistent with a solid neoplasm but no specific characteristics were identified. Analysis of the surgical biopsy material led to a cytological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma. Definitive diagnosis of sclerosing hemangioma of the lung was established on pathological examination of the whole surgical specimen.
