Pulmonary Sclerosing Hemangioma

Pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma (PSH) is a rare benign tumor of the lung that is composed of thick-walled, sclerotic blood vessels. It is usually found incidentally on imaging of the lungs and is most commonly seen in females between the ages of 40-50 years. PSH is an important entity to diagnose because it can cause airway obstruction and mimics many other diseases, including cancer. It is usually treated with either bronchoscopic biopsy and/or surgical excision, depending on the location and size. Early detection is key to preventing further complications and thus, making a correct diagnosis is crucial for successful management.
