Definition of Sclerosing hemangioma

• A lung tumor with a distinctive constellation of histologic findings including: solid, papillary, sclerotic, and hemorrhagic patterns. Hyperplastic type II pneumocytes line the surface of the papillary structures. Cholesterol clefts, chronic inflammation, calcification, laminated scroli-like whorls, necrosis, and mature fat may be present.

• Synonyms and historical notation: pneumocytoma, papillary pneumocytoma- It was named sclerosing hemangioma as if was originally believed to be vascular in origin due to prominent angiomatoid feateres. Current consensus favors a benign or very low-grade neoplasm arising from primitive respiratory epithelium.
