폐에 발생한 경화성 혈관종 -3예 보고- = Sclerosing hemangioma of the lung -3 cases report-

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Sclerosing hemangiomas of the lung are uncommon benign tumors. Although their histologic appearances are distinct and well-defined, their histogenesis is uncertain. Liebow and Hubbell reported seven cases of unusual pulmonary lesions which they named sclerosing hemangiomas in 1856. Similar cases had previously been reported under different names: Xanthoma, pulmonary histiocytoma, Xanthofibroma. We have experienced 3 cases of sclerosing hemangioma of lung at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Yonsei University, college of Medicine, Seoul, Korea during a period of December 1985 through September 1988. This report is an early result of surgical treatment of three patients with pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma and their pathologic findings.
