Abstract
Sclerosing hemangioma of the lung is extremely rare. Herein, a case of sclerosing hemangioma of the lung in a 44-year-old woman is reported. On admission, the patient complained of pain in the left lower neck and upper chest. Chest x-ray revealed a mass in lingular lobe of the left lung. The patient underwent surgery and a mass was removed through left posterolateral thoracotomy. Pathologic findings confirmed sclerosing hemangioma. Sclerosing hemangioma of the lung should be considered in asymptomatic patients or those with symptoms in chest or lower neck.
