This study details a rare pulmonary cavernous hemangioma case in a 54-year-old man. Surgical resection and histological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of this vascular lung tumor.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Pulmonary cavernous hemangiomas are rare benign vascular tumors of the lung.
  • Diagnosis often requires advanced imaging and definitive surgical resection.
  • Literature review highlights the rarity and diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 54-year-old male presented with symptoms necessitating a chest computed tomographic scan.
  • Imaging revealed an ill-defined mass (4 x 3 cm) near the left upper and lower lobe bronchi.
  • The mass's location posed diagnostic and surgical considerations.

Findings:

  • Surgical resection was performed for definitive diagnosis.
  • Histological examination confirmed an encapsulated mass of dilated, blood-filled vessels.

  • The mass was lined with squamous endothelium, consistent with cavernous hemangioma.

    • Implications:

    • This case adds to the limited English-language and Japanese literature on pulmonary cavernous hemangioma.
    • Highlights the importance of surgical intervention for accurate diagnosis of rare lung masses.
    • Contributes to understanding the clinical and pathological spectrum of pulmonary vascular malformations.
