Sclerosing Pneumocytoma With Pulmonary Sarcoidosis: A Case Report

Pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma, formally named pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma, is a rare benign tumor with malignant potential often identified as solid pulmonary nodules. Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory, multisystemic disease of unknown cause with a wide range of clinical manifestations. The disorder is characterized by the formation of noncaseating granulomas in virtually any organ in the body. We present a case of a patient presenting with fever, weight loss, and respiratory symptoms found to have both a sclerosing pneumocytoma and pulmonary sarcoidosis. A diagnosis was made following the lobectomy. The patient was followed for two years with stable lymphadenopathy while remaining asymptomatic.
