Hyperplastic changes of the bronchial arteries may take the form of a racemose arteriovenous angioma or result from chronic bronchitis. Clinically, recurrent haemoptysis is a striking feature occurring in otherwise fit patients. The two forms can be distinguished by bronchial arteriography because of the difference in the appearance of the vessels. In the one condition there are circumscribed areas of arterial and venous, vascular abnormalities, in the other there is vascular hyperplasia, which is less clearly circumscribed. In both forms, broncho-pulmonary, i.e. arterio-venous anastomoses can be demonstrated; these may be considered as the cause of the haemoptyses.

A 74-year-old male cigarette smoker presented with hemoptysis and a right upper lobe infiltrate. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed a small (1 x 2 mm) benign-appearing lesion in the right upper lobe bronchus which, on biopsy, was a submucosal capillary hemangioma. This is an exceedingly rare tumor and, to our knowledge, hemoptysis from these lesions in the proximal bronchi has not been previously reported.

It is hardly ever assumed that pulmonary bleeding can be due to the presence of angioma racemosum arteriovenosum. This is not only because it is relatively rare, but also because it cannot be visualised in conventional x-ray films of the lung. It is also not accessible to more detailed and invasive lung diagnosis. Definite confirmation is only possible via selective bronchial arteriography, which is too rarely applied during diagnostic differentiation. The authors observed angioma racemosum arteriovenosum in seven out of 47 patients in whom angiography had been performed after single or repeated haemoptysis; in six of these patients, the angioma was removed by surgery. Bronchial arteriography not only enables visualisation of the characteristic vascular patterns, but also to differentiate this disease against other pulmonary disorders which may also be responsible for the occurrence of haemoptysis. Furthermore, the angiogram enables exact determination of the extension and localisation of the angioma, this being an important prerequisite of successful thoracosurgery.

Contact ulcer granuloma has a multifactorial etiology but vocal abuse is considered the most important etiological factor. Some other possible factors are well-known: tuberculosis, allergies, hormonal or autonomic imbalance, psychosomatic influences, reflux-esophagitis, pathological conditions of the nose, nasal accessory sinus, tonsils. Constitutional factors play also an important role. The symptoms range from mild huskiness to severe hoarseness with pain extending to the ear, dysphagia, sometimes hemoptysis and chronic cough. Failure to recognize the pathological features of this frequently overlooked lesion leads to diagnosis of larynx cancer, angiosarcoma or hemangioma. Indication for microsurgical removal is only severe dyspnea by size of mass or if the dignity is not clear, because any surgical procedure has only temporary value and does not eliminate the etiological factors. The dignity can normally be proved by stroboscope. Vocal rehabilitation and re-education are an essential appropriate means of treatment for this disease if other causative factors are excluded.

The paper presents an observation of a 33-year-old female patient with pulmonary hemangioma followed by hemoptysis in hospital and detected by roentgenofluorography. Sclerosing hemangioma is a rarely occurring benign tumor of the lung.

Two cases of primary racemose hemangioma of the bronchial artery are reported. The first case was admitted because of massive hemoptysis after transbronchial biopsy in another hospital. Bronchoscopic examination revealed a polypoid tumor of the left B4 bronchus, which was resected and diagnosed as racemose hemangioma. The second case was admitted because of massive hemoptysis. Bronchoscopic examination revealed polypoid tumor in the left B3b bronchus, which was resected and diagnosed as racemose hemangioma.

A case of multiple "sclerosing hemangiomas" of the lung is reported. A 48-year-old housewife had several coin lesions in the right lower lung field, which were detected in a mass survey examination. There were no definite symptoms or signs except for hemoptysis. The resected right lower lobe of the lung contained innumerable lesions varying in size from microscopic to 3.7 cm in diameter, all of which were diagnosed as "sclerosing hemangioma." Although larger nodules revealed hemorrhagic, solid, papillary, and sclerotic features, smaller lesions, particularly minute ones, tended to be composed only of epithelial cells arranged in papillary patterns and so-called pale cells in solid areas, both of which are suggested to be main components of sclerosing hemangioma. Some lesions were associated with tumorlet or adenomatous hyperplasia (or adenoma) probably of the type 2 epithelial cell. It is not certain from this case study whether the lesions were multicentric in origin or intralobar metastases from one primary lesion. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, and there is no evidence of recurrence 2 years after surgery.

In 1956, LIEBOW and HUBBEL defined pulmonary fibrosing haemangioma as a marked vascular proliferation with a marked tendency to fibrosis, papillary vegetations, extensive histiocytic infiltration and haemorrhages at various stages of organisation. More than 70 cases have been reported since. This lesion occurs most often in the middle aged woman. It is usually asymptomatic or may present as haemoptysis. Radiologically, it takes the form of a well-limited round homogeneous opacity and the prognosis is excellent after excision. The case reported here fell fully within this context and had the special feature of intrascissural tumour development resulting in an unusual radiological appearance which initially suggested a diagnosis of encysted pleural effusion. However the solid nature of the opacity being confirmed by CT scan, it was excised surgically. Its nature was revealed by histological examination. A detailed review of the literature is undertaken and changes in the histopathological concept of this type of lesion discussed. Previously classified amongst inflammatory pseudo-tumours, it is now considered to be a tumour proliferation which, on the basis of current data from electron microscopy and histochemistry, is felt by some to be of vascular origin but by the majority to be of epithelial origin, apparently developing from immature type II pneumocytes. The name "benign fibrosing pneumocytoma" suggested by CHAN would seem now more appropriate.

Percutaneous, nonsurgical interventions using angiographic catheter techniques and radiologic guidance were used in the management of seven cases of various lesions of the chest and lungs. Successful catheter therapy included the embolization of a large, acquired, postinflammatory vascular malformation causing massive hemoptysis and a cavernous hemangioma of the chest wall. Sixteen pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas (one patient), an iatrogenic internal mammary artery-to-innominate vein fistula, and a persistent, postbiopsy bronchopleural fistula were successfully closed. Percutaneous drainage of a pyogenic lung abscess and the nonoperative retrieval of an intravascular foreign body that had embolized to the left pulmonary artery were also successfully achieved. Performed under local anesthesia with minimal morbidity, stress, and risk, interventional catheter therapy is remarkably cost-effective. Primary chest physicians are encouraged to consider this mode of therapy whenever applicable.

A 74-year-old male was admitted to our hospital because of hemoptysis. Bronchoscopic examination showed a polypoid lesion in the right middle lobe bronchus. Biopsy of the polypoid lesion caused a massive bleeding. A massive hemoptysis of about 1,200 ml occurred again on the 13th day after biopsy, angiographic embolization of the right bronchial artery was performed successfully. Dilatation, convolution and hypervascularization of the right bronchial artery were observed, and anastomosis with pulmonary artery was seen. The diagnosis of primary racemose hemangioma of the bronchial artery was made. There was no recurrence of hemoptysis 3 years after the embolization procedure. Bronchial artery embolization is an effective method of treatment of hemoptysis due to racemose hemangioma.
