Abstract: Objective  To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma (PSH) and improve our understanding of this disease. Methods  The clinical features , radiographic manifestations and treatment of PSH pathologically verified in 61 patients were analyzed retrospectively. Results  None of the 61 patients was diagnosed as PSH preoperatively. There were 44 females and 17 males, and the average age was 40.36 years in this group. 36 patients were symptom free. The plain chest roentgenograms or CT showed a well defined, homogeneous, round or oval nodulous shadow in most cases. All patients received operation. There was no postoperative morbidity and mortality. Postoperative follow-up showed a good prognosis. Conclusion  Preoperative diagnosis of PSH is quite difficult . A good prognosis can be achieved through surgical treatment.
