Pneumocytoma is a rare lung tumour that is typically benign. It is also known as sclerosing pneumocytoma.[1][2]

It was previously known as sclerosing hemangioma.[2]

General

  • Derived from type 2 pneumocyte.[3]
  • Progesterone-receptor positive stromal cells.[4]
  • Rare - 0.2% to 1% of lung tumours.[5]
    • One large series had 100 cases.[6]

Management:

  • Surgical excision preferred, may be followed.[5]

Epidemiology

  • Female in 40s.[7]
  • Considered benign; excision is curative.

Gross

  • Peripheral, solitary.
  • Well-circumscribed.
  • Classically hemorrhagic.

Microscopic

Features:[7]

  • Mixed cell population.
  • Variable architecture:
    • Papillary.
    • Sclerotic.
    • Solid.
    • Hemorrhagic.
  • +/-Granulomas.

DDx:[10]

Comment:
The lesion stains as follows:

NEGATIVE: CD56, p53, CD34.

Micro

The sections show lung with thickened alveolar walls containing bland appearing cells with round/oval nuclei without conspicuous nucleoli. Necrosis is absent.
