Spiral CT diagnosis of the pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma

Objective To investigate the spiral CT image features of pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma(PSH).Methods Retrospectively analyzed the CT magnifications of PSH 6 cases confirmed by surgical and pathological,which were totally underwent CT scanning(4 cases followed multiphase enhanced scanning).Results CT findings showed that 1 case manifested irregular sublobe and sentus sign,while other 5 cases were all around or oval mass with clear margins,4 cases were underwent multiphase enhanced scanning.Homogenous enhancement was evident in the 4 cases and the maximum enhanced at delay phase,the increase of CT value was(69±7)Hu.All cases were without cavity,pleual recesses and metastasis.Conclusion CT scanning is helpful for the diagnosis of PSH,especially multiphase enhanced scanning.
