Abstract:
This report describes a sclerosing hemangioma of the lung evaluated by MRI. The mass demonstrated hyperintense signal on T1 -weighted, proton density, and T2-weighted spin-echo images. Contrast-enhanced T1 -weighted images showed marked, homogeneous enhancement of the mass. The MR appearance is not specific for sclerosing hemangioma of the lung, as other benign tumors can appear similarly. However, the appearance of homogeneous enhancement within the mass on Gd-DTPA enhanced MR may suggest the diagnosis.
