Abstract:
We present a case of sclerosing hemangioma of the lung, revealed as a solitary round mass on routine chest radiography in a 14-year-old patient. CT and MRI findings were consistent with a solid neoplasm but no specific characteristics were identified. Analysis of the surgical biopsy material led to a cytological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma. Definitive diagnosis of sclerosing hemangioma of the lung was established on pathological examination of the whole surgical specimen.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
