title: [Pulmonary sclerosing haemangioma--case report].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Sclerosing haemangioma is a benign tumour, also known under the term "pneumocytoma". It is mostly notified in older females and is usually solitary. According to the histological appearance, sclerosing haemangioma could be: papillary, sclerotic, solid and haemorrhagic.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 68-year-old female patient was radiologically diagnosed with coin lesion in the lower right lobe. Lower right lobectomy was performed after clinical investigations. In pulmonary parenchyma, there was found a well circumscribed node of up to 35 mm in maximal diameter. The tumour was histologically established as sclerosing haemangioma, containing two types of cells with the same immunophenotype. A multiple type of tumour was excluded by postoperative radiological examinations. Two years after surgery, the patient is without disease recurrence.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Sclerosing haemangioma should be considered in patients with radiologically diagnosed "coin-like" lesions of a solid as well as multiple type.
