[A case of multiple sclerosing hemangiomas of the lung and a review of the literature in Japan].

A 39-year-old woman complained of an oppressive feeling in her chest and abnormal shadows were detected in the left lower lobe. On a preoperative diagnosis of primary or metastatic lung cancer, left lower lobectomy was performed. There were 3 nodular tumors in the left S6, S10 but no metastasis to regional lymph nodes was found. Histological examination confirmed "so-called" sclerosing hemangioma. She has remained well for 4 years after surgery. A review of the literatures on sclerosing hemangioma in Japan showed that 12 (5%) of 225 cases of sclerosing hemangiomas had multiple tumors.
