Abstract:
Objective To discuss the diagnosis and surgical management of pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma(PSH).Methods Clinical records of 33 cases of PSH(34 lesions) in this hospital from 1987 to 2002 were reviewed.There were 6 male cases and 27 female cases,with a mean age of 41.3 years(range,24~57 years).Twenty-three cases had an initial symptom of bloody sputum,while 10 cases were disclosed by physical examinations.Image findings revealed solitary mass of the lung in all the cases,in 5 of which a "crescent sign" was presented.Results Preoperatively,28 cases were diagnosed as having pulmonary benign tumors(including 5 cases of suspected sclerosing hemangioma),1 case was clarified as having PSH by percutaneous needle aspiration cytology,and 4 cases were misdiagnosed as having lung cancer. All the patients received surgical treatment,including 21 cases of unilateral pulmonary lobectomy,1 case of bilateral lobectomy,5 cases of segmentectomy,4 cases of wedge resection(including 1 case of bilateral thoracoscopic wedge resection),and 2 cases of tumor excision.The operation time was 45~210 min(mean,90 min),and the blood loss was 100~600 ml(mean,230 ml).No peri-operative deaths were encountered.Follow-up surveys in 33 cases for(3~)10 years(mean,5.5 years) found no recurrence.Conclusions In middle-aged women,if the sign of bloody sputum develops,and image findings indicate the solitary mass of the lung,especially with a "crescent sign",a diagnosis of PSH is possible.Percutaneous needle aspiration cytology is helpful to make a confirmative diagnosis in some patients.It is advisable to manage the disease surgically.
