Multiple Pulmonary Sclerosing Haemangiomas with a Cavity: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Pulmonary sclerosing haemangioma (PSH) is a relatively uncommon benign neoplasm that is often asymptomatic and predominantly affects young and middle-aged females. PSH often appears as a single nodule, whereas multiple lesions with a cavity are relatively rare and easily misdiagnosed.

In our study, we report a patient with separated nodules in the same lobe with a cavity and clinical manifestations of cough and sputum with a radiographic presentation similar to that of tuberculosis. The patient underwent percutaneous lung biopsy and thoracoscopic partial pneumonectomy and was diagnosed with multiple PSHs.

We report a rare case of multiple PSHs that were treated with a thoracoscopic partial resection of the left upper lobe. Postoperative pathology confirmed multiple PSHs. Due to the rarity of PSH, it is easily misdiagnosed in clinical practice as lung cancer, tuberculosis, or other diseases. The final diagnosis depends on the pathology, and surgery is considered to be an appropriate treatment that leads to a good prognosis.
