Sclerosing Pneumocytoma

Benign sclerosing pneumocytoma of lung (sclerosing haemangioma).

Case of sclerosing pneumocytoma combined with a typical carcinoid and pulmonary adenocarcinoma in different lobes

We report the first case of a 62-year-old man with a sclerosing pneumocytoma (SP) combined with a typical carcinoid (TC) and pulmonary adenocarcinoma in different lung lobes. Computed tomography revealed two nodules. The radiological diagnosis was primary lung cancer and a metastatic nodule; however, no enlarged lymph nodes were observed. Histological and immunohistochemical analyses defined th...

Imaging features, diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma complicated with lung cancer

Objective: Imaging features, diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma complicated with lung cancer were analyzed to improve the accuracy of diagnosis. Methods: The clinical data of 14 cases of pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma complicated with lung cancer treated in Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2008 to August 2016 were collected. Their clinical characteristics, ...

Sclerosing pneumocytoma diagnosed by preoperative endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA)

BACKGROUND Sclerosing pneumocytoma is a rare lung tumor that is usually recognized as a solitary nodule in the lung. Surgical removal is recommended; however, its clinical diagnosis is still an issue because it is difficult to differentiate from lung adenocarcinomas using a tiny sample obtained from biopsy. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma located in the...

Pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma mimicking lung cancer: Case report and review of the literature

Pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma (PSP) is a rare benign neoplasm that predominantly affects middle-aged Asian women. PSP is often asymptomatic and demonstrates a solitary pulmonary nodule on radiologic examination. We report a case of PSP initially misdiagnosed as lung cancer because of strong (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake revealed by (18)F-FDG positron emission tomography-computed tom...
