The clinical, radiographic, and pathological features of 10 patients with sclerosing hemangioma of the lung seen between 1974 and 1990 were reviewed. The incidence of sclerosing hemangioma was 22.2% of benign tumors surgically resected during that time. There were 2 male and 8 female patients aged 15 to 77 years at operation, and 9 patients were asymptomatic. All 10 patients had a solitary tumor with a well-defined homogeneous round or oval shadow on chest roentgenograms. Chest computed tomography revealed a homogeneous soft-density mass in 4 patients and a low-density portion within the tumor because of a cystic change in 1 patient. Microscopically, 5 patients had a preponderantly solid pattern, 3 had a preponderantly papillary pattern, and 1 patient had a preponderantly sclerotic pattern. One patient had an equal mixture of solid and papillary patterns. Nine of the 10 tumors consisted of a mixture of at least three of the four major patterns. Regarding treatment, thoracotomy is indicated for a definite diagnosis. If a benign tumor is suspected at operation, an intraoperative frozen section is recommended. Once the diagnosis has been established as sclerosing hemangioma, a limited resection is indicated.

D018219 Histiocytoma, Benign Fibrous A benign tumor composed, wholly or in part, of cells with the morphologic characteristics of HISTIOCYTES and with various fibroblastic components. Fibrous histiocytomas can occur anywhere in the body. When they occur in the skin, they are called dermatofibromas or sclerosing hemangiomas.
