The topic Sclerosing Hemangioma of Lung you are seeking is a synonym, or alternative name, or is closely related to the medical condition Pulmonary Sclerosing Hemangioma.

Quick Summary:

  • Pulmonary Sclerosing Hemangioma (PSH) is a generally solitary tumor that is often observed in women, who are in their 50s. Hemangiomas are typically benign malformation of blood vessels that can occur in a number of tissues such as the brain, kidney, liver, skin, and lung
  • Also known as Pneumocytoma of Lung, PSH is a benign tumor of the lung, which can occur either in the lung tissue or occasionally in the pleura. The exact cause of formation of this hemangioma type is unknown; no specific risk factors have also been identified
  • Most Pulmonary Sclerosing Hemangiomas are asymptomatic, meaning that no signs and symptoms are generally present. Due to this reason, majority of them are diagnosed incidentally, while a diagnostic work-up is being performed for other medical conditions
  • The healthcare provider may undertake treatment (surgical removal of the tumor) in case it causes worrisome signs and symptoms. Even in the absence of any symptoms, a Pulmonary Sclerosing Hemangioma is removed, since some are known to metastasize
  • The prognosis of Pulmonary Sclerosing Hemangioma is typically excellent with treatment, since these are normally benign tumors
