Sclerosing hemangioma of the lung: a clinicopathologic study of 51 cases.

TLDR
The clinical and pathologic features of 51 sclerosing hemangiomas of the lung are reviewed and characteristic uniform round cells are found within the stroma in all patterns and are unique to this tumor.
Abstract
The clinical and pathologic features of 51 sclerosing hemangiomas of the lung are reviewed. This tumor is benign and occurs predominantly in women. It has a variegated histologic appearance characterized by an admixture of four major histologic patterns: solid, hemorrhagic, papillary, and sclerotic. Characteristic uniform round cells are found within the stroma in all patterns and are unique to this tumor. Sclerosing hemangioma is a distinct clinicopathologic entity and should be distinguished from other benign neoplasms or inflammatory lesions of the lung.

Intravascular, bronchiolar, and alveolar tumor of the lung (IVBAT). An analysis of twenty cases of a peculiar sclerosing endothelial tumor.

A clinicopathologic study of 100 cases of pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma with immunohistochemical studies: TTF-1 is expressed in both round and surface cells, suggesting an origin from primitive respiratory epithelium.

TL;DR: The concomitant positivity of both cell types in SH for TTF-1 and EMA, and the negativity of round cells for pancytokeratin and neuroendocrine markers, provide useful clues not only for histogenesis but also for the diagnosis of this lung neoplasm.

Pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma consistently expresses thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1): a new clue to its histogenesis.

TL;DR: The results suggest that pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma is an epithelial neoplasm derived from primitive respiratory epithelium or incompletely differentiated type II pneumocyte or Clara cell, and TTF-1 expression was observed in both the surface lining cells and the pale polygonal cells.
