Unusual coexistence of pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma and pericardial cyst

Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann. 2014 Jul;22(6):719-21. doi: 10.1177/0218492313480358. Epub 2013 Sep 24.

Abstract

Pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma is an uncommon tumor, thought to be a benign neoplasm. Pericardial cysts are also uncommon benign abnormalities, most often found incidentally on chest radiography. We describe the case of a 51-year-old woman in whom both lesions were incidentially detected on a routine chest radiograph. Enucleation of the pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma and simultaneous resection of the pericardial cyst were undertaken.

Keywords: Lung neoplasms; mediastinal cyst; pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma.
