Pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma in a woman with multiple uterine fibromas, cysts to thyroid and kidney.
Pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma (PSH) is a relatively rare, homogeneous solitary tumor. Its complex histology may suggest a number of malignancies. We report one case diagnosed in a 62-years-old woman with a tendency to benign tumors (uterine fibromas) and cystes (thyroide, kidney). Bronchoscopy was normal. Pulmonary scintiscan was not done. Chest X-ray showed a 2 x 2 cm solitary, dense, homogeneous, delimited nodule of the LLL. The intraoperatory diagnosis of adenocarcinoma led to lobectomy. The final diagnosis of PSH was done on fixed and stained samples. She is in good condition after 13 months of follow-up.
