Resumo

O hemangioma esclerosante do pulmão é um tumor benigno raro que se apresenta geralmente como um nódulo solitário do pulmão. A multiplicidade é muito rara. Os autores descrevem um caso de uma mulher de 50 anos, assintomática, com múltiplas lesões nodulares envolvendo todos os lobos de ambos os pulmões, submetida a toracotomia diagnóstica após estudo exaustivo em busca de neoplasia extrapulmonar. As biópsias realizadas permitiram diagnosticar hemangiomas esclerosantes múltiplos. Este é um dos poucos casos descritos até hoje com esta apresentação.

Abstract

Sclerosing hemangioma of the lung is an uncommon benign tumour which usually presents as an asymptomatic solitary nodule. Multiplicity is very rare. The authors describe a case of a 50 year-old asymptomatic woman with multiple nodular lesions involving all the lobes of both lungs, which underwent diagnostic thoracotomy after thorough investigation to exclude extra-pulmonary neoplasia. The biopsies obtained led to the diagnosis of pulmonary sclerosing hemangiomas. This is one of the few cases described with this presentation.
