METHODS: The clinicopathological features, operative treatment and prognosis of 61 patients with pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma in our hospital from January, 1970 to April, 2005 were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: There were 11 males (18.03%) and 50 females (81.97%). The mean age was 39.24 (15-59) years old. The 38 (62.30%) patients were free of symptoms. By radiography, the tumor presented as a round or nearly round nodule, with uniform dersity in 47 (77.05%) cases and calcification in 14 (22.95%) cases. All patients received operation, without complications and death. Immunohistochemical findings suggested that the tumor might originate from epithelium. During postoperative followup of about 8.25 years, there was no recurrence or metastasis. CONCLUSION: It is very difficult to diagnose pulmonary sclerosing hemoangioma before operation, for it mainly depends on pathological examination postoperatively. A good prognosis can be achieved through surgical treatment.
