Abstract:
Forty patients with pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma treated from 1971 to 1999 in General itospital of PLA were analyzed retrospectively for clinical and pathological features,and image characteristics. The results showed that 60%(24 of 40) of patients were middle aged or elderly women,and 40% (16 of 40) of patients had symptoms.On chest radiography,the tumor presented as a round or nearly round nodule or mass with sharp and smooth margin in 37 cases(92 5%).All patients received operation without complication or mortality.Immunohistochemical findings indicated that the tumor cells were positive for neuroendocrine markers,and neurosecretory granules were found in tumor cells by electron microscopy.There was no recurrence or metastasis at the follow up. It suggested that pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma is a benign neuroendocrine tumor that has a good prognosis if it is treated by operation.
