title: [Pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma with specific CT findings].
abstract: A 44-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for evaluation of an abnormal lung shadow. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed a tumor surrounded by air-space and an infiltrative shadow in the right S2. Right upper lobectomy was performed and pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma was diagnosed. Usually, pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma shows a solitary round nodule on a chest CT scan. We report a case of pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma with an unusual shadow on a chest CT scan, and review the literature.
