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]

Management:

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

Epidemiology

  • Female in 40s.[6]
  • Considered benign; excision is curative.

Gross

  • Peripheral, solitary.
  • Well-circumscribed.

Microscopic

Features:[6]

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

DDx:[9]

IHC

Features:[10]

  • EMA +ve.
  • PR +ve.[4]
  • Ki-67 membranous pattern.[11]

Negative stains:[10]

  • SMA -ve.
  • CEA -ve.
  • CD34 -ve.
  • S100 -ve.
  • Chromogranin A -ve.

Others:[3]

  • TTF-1 +ve.
  • HNF-3 alpha +ve.
  • HNF-3 beta +ve.

Lung, Left Lower Lobe, Core Biopsy:
     - Sclerosing pneumocytoma (sclerosing hemangioma).

Comment:
The lesion stains as follows:
POSITIVE: Ki-67 (membranous pattern), TTF-1, PR.
NEGATIVE: CD56, p53.
