Bone metastasis in pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma

Pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma is a rare neoplasm of the lungs first described in 1956 [1]. Recent immunohistochemical studies have revealed that these tumors are epithelial in origin and derived from primitive respiratory epithelium, incompletely differentiated type II pneumocytes, or Clara cells...

Description
Summary:Pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma is a rare neoplasm of the lungs first described in 1956 [1]. Recent immunohistochemical studies have revealed that these tumors are epithelial in origin and derived from primitive respiratory epithelium, incompletely differentiated type II pneumocytes, or Clara cells [2]. Although composed of mixed cell populations, clonal analysis has shown that these tumors are monoclonal [3]. However, there have been no reports of extrapulmonary metastases from these tumors to date. Herein, we describe a patient with bone metastasis from a pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma.
