AI Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary sclerosing haemangioma (PSH) is an uncommon benign lung tumor mostly found in young to middle-aged women, often presenting as a single nodule, but can occasionally show multiple cavitary lesions.
- A patient with multiple nodules in one lung lobe, who exhibited symptoms similar to tuberculosis, was diagnosed with PSH after undergoing a biopsy and surgery.
- The case highlights the challenge of diagnosing PSH, which can be mistaken for more serious conditions like lung cancer or tuberculosis; surgical treatment typically results in a positive outcome.
Article Abstract
Objective: Pulmonary sclerosing haemangioma (PSH) is a relatively uncommon benign neoplasm that is often asymptomatic and predominantly affects young and middle-aged females. PSH often appears as a single nodule, whereas multiple lesions with a cavity are relatively rare and easily misdiagnosed.
Case Presentation: In our study, we report a patient with separated nodules in the same lobe with a cavity and clinical manifestations of cough and sputum with a radiographic presentation similar to that of tuberculosis. The patient underwent percutaneous lung biopsy and thoracoscopic partial pneumonectomy and was diagnosed with multiple PSHs.
Conclusion: We report a rare case of multiple PSHs that were treated with a thoracoscopic partial resection of the left upper lobe. Postoperative pathology confirmed multiple PSHs. Due to the rarity of PSH, it is easily misdiagnosed in clinical practice as lung cancer, tuberculosis, or other diseases. The final diagnosis depends on the pathology, and surgery is considered to be an appropriate treatment that leads to a good prognosis.

Background/aims: Epidemiological data on mortality in autoimmune liver diseases (AILDs) are scarce. We examined all-cause and cancer-related mortality in individuals with AILD from Sweden.
Methods: We identified 9654 individuals with AILD (3342 with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), 3751 with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), and 2561 with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC)) using national Swedish registries between 2001 and 2020.
Investigation of the sclerosing effect of increasing doses of polidocanol on pulmonary vessels: Experimental study.

Background: Percutaneous sclerotherapy as endovascular treatment may cause severe complications beside the target area. Pulmonary embolism and thrombosis may occur. In this regard, our study aimed to reveal whether increasing systemic doses of polidocanol affects the coronary or pulmonary alveolar levels.

When pulmonary symptoms precede gastrointestinal, diagnosis can be challenging. Consideration of Ulcerative colitis in patients with unexplained lung and hepatic pathology is crucial, as a failure of timely intervention can lead to multiorgan complications.

Proliferations of neoplastic perivascular epithelioid cells (PECs) may occur within the lung and extrathoracic sites. The term "PEComatosis" is applied to multiple or diffuse microscopic proliferations of neoplastic PECs. Pulmonary diffuse PEComatosis is extremely rare, with only one case documented in the literature to date.
