Pneumocytoma is a rare lung tumour that is typically benign. It is also known as benign sclerosing pneumocytoma.[1]
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]
Management:
- Surgical excision preferred, may be followed.[5]
Epidemiology
- Female in 40s.[6]
- Considered benign; excision is curative.
- Rare case reports of metastases.[7][8]
Gross
- Peripheral, solitary.
- Well-circumscribed.
Microscopic
Features:[6]
- Mixed cell population.
- Variable architecture:
