Abstract:
Sclerosing hemangioma of the lung is an uncommon benign tumour which usually presents as an asymptomatic solitary nodule. Multiplicity is very rare. The authors describe a case of a 50 year-old asymptomatic woman with multiple nodular lesions involving all the lobes of both lungs, which underwent diagnostic thoracotomy after thorough investigation to exclude extra-pulmonary neoplasia. The biopsies obtained led to the diagnosis of pulmonary sclerosing hemangiomas. This is one of the few cases described with this presentation.
