A case report on incidentally detected pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma: a diagnostic challenge.

Introduction And Importance: Pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma (PSP) is a rare non-cancerous lung tumor that is usually asymptomatic, but may cause respiratory distress if it becomes large. PSPs are often detected incidentally because of their slow growth, lack of symptoms, characteristic radiographic features, and increased use of imaging studies. Although it is not a malignant tumor, it can mimic malignancy on imaging and histology, leading to misdiagnosis and unnecessary surgery.
