A 54-year-old man was seen with massive hemoptysis. A posteroanterior chest radiograph revealed increased bronchovascular branching in the left hemithorax. Thoracic computed tomography showed a well-demarcated mass with uniform density confined to the apicoposterior and anterior segments of the left upper lobe. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed a locus of bleeding in the apicoposterior segment of that lobe. Exploratory left thoracotomy confirmed the presence of a mass. The results of frozen section examination of a biopsy specimen were benign. The mass was resected by upper lobectomy. The definitive result of histopathological study of the mass was cavernous hemangioma. Very few cases of pulmonary hemangioma have been reported in the literature.

We report two cases of primary racemose hemangioma in patients with hemoptysis. In the first, a 59-year-old man had a pulsatile polypoid lesion in the bronchus of the lingula; and in the second, a 24-year-old woman had a nodule in the bronchus of the right lower lobe. In both patients, arteriography of the bronchial artery revealed enlargement and convolution of its branches. Primary racemose hemangioma was diagnosed in both patients. The arteriography also revealed a shunt between the pulmonary and bronchial arteries in the woman. Bronchial artery embolization (BAE) was an effective treatment for the hemoptysis. To date, eight months after the embolization, hemoptysis has not recurred. Bronchoscopy and arteriography of the bronchial artery are both useful for diagnosing primary racemose hemangioma. BAE seems to be effective in treating primary racemose hemangioma.

We report a case of thoracic sclerosing haemangioma with concomitant pulmonary and mediastinal involvement in a 19-year-old girl who presented with haemoptysis and dyspnoea. CT showed a large oval mass in the left lower lobe and another larger dumbbell-shaped mass in the posterior mediastinum. Both masses were well-defined and harboured punctate calcifications. They exhibited inhomogeneous contrast enhancement and contained some cystic areas. In addition, an air meniscus sign was present around the pulmonary lesion.

A case of myofibrosarcoma (IMT) of the brain and lung as well as the spinal cord is described. A 29-year-old male patient presented with fever (40 degrees C), malaise, vomitus, meningism and leukocytosis. Computer tomography identified a bleeding in the left frontal lobe. A bleeding angioma was suspected and an operation was performed. The histological examination could not reveal an exact diagnosis. Eight months after complete recovery from the first bleeding, the patient had a second intracranial temporo-occipital bleeding on the right side which has been removed operatively. A new lesion was seen in the left parietal white matter of the brain. A growing cavernoma was suspected and resection of the lesion was planned. Pre-operatively the patient suffered from hemoptysis and fever. The X-ray of the chest showed a pulmonary lesion in the left lower lobe. In the CT of the chest a large tumor in the left lower lobe of the lung and additionally a cystic structure in the mediastinum was seen. The histological examination of this tumor identified an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT). The left parietal lesion has been resected after the thoracic operation. The brain lesions were estimated to be metastases of the IMT of the lung. In the further clinical history the patient developed a large spinal cord metastasis of the thoracic spine. The metastatic development of the tumor reported in this case is unusual. The current therapy of these tumors consists of complete tumor resection and further clinical controls. However, due to the localization and the extension of some lesions in the present case, the complete resection has not been possible. There is no proven role of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The patient died due to the pulmonary deterioration.

A case of lobular capillary haemangioma of the trachea is presented. The patient gave a history of foreign body sensation in the throat and multiple episodes of haemoptysis. The chest X-ray was normal. A spiral computed tomograph (CT) with three-dimensional reconstruction revealed a small tracheal mass in the antero-lateral wall of the trachea, which was excised by endoscopy. The histopathological diagnosis was lobular capillary haemangioma, a rare, benign tumour of the trachea. A high index of suspicion with the spiral CT finding was responsible for early diagnosis of the tumour.

We report two cases of bilateral racemose hemangioma in patients with hemoptysis. Case 1 was a 62-year-old woman who visited a local clinic complaining of hemoptysis. Bronchoscopy revealed multiple pulsating tumorous lesions and she was referred to our department. Chest Multidetector CT (MDCT) disclosed bilateral enlarged and convoluted, abnormal bronchial arteries and primary racemose hemangioma was diagnosed. Bronchial artery embolization was selected, but not conducted because of concern regarding the arteriovenous shunt and escape into the greater circulation. In combination with thoracoscopic mini-thoracotomy, ligation and separation of the bronchial artery were performed. Case 2 was a 68-year-old man who was transferred to our department with a chief complaint of hemoptysis. MDCT revealed bilateral bronchiectasis and a convoluted and enlarged, abnormal bronchial artery along the mediastinum. He was diagnosed as having secondary racemose hemangioma. First, bronchial artery embolization was conducted, but hemostasis was difficult, thus surgical ligation was conducted. In both cases, MDCT was effective for diagnosis and surgical ligation is very important as a therapeutic option for racemose hemangioma.

We encountered a case of primary racemose hemangioma treatment with successful bronchial artery embolism for massive hemoptysis. A 56-year-old woman with massive hemoptysis was transported to our hospital. The source of the massive hemoptysis was observed to be from around a non-pulsatile polyp covered by normal mucosa occluding the truncus intermedius by fiberoptic bronchoscopy. We stopped the bleeding temporarily using differential lung ventilation, and then bronchial artery angiography was performed. The main right bronchial artery was enlarged, and enlarged and convoluted right peripheral bronchial vessels were also observed. We diagnosed the massive bleeding to be due to racemose hemangioma. A successful bronchial artery embolization (BAE) was performed with gelforms and metallic coils for the treatment of racemose hemangioma. There has been no recurrence of hemoptysis for one year after BAE. There have been many reports on massive hemoptysis as in this patient who were treated by lobectomy, nevertheless we would like to state BAE should be considered as a suitable treatments for primary racemose hemangioma with hemoptysis if there is no recognizable shunt artery.

Tracheal tumors of malignant or benign origin are very rare. The symptoms may mimic asthmatic crisis, dyspnea at rest or light efforts appear only when the tumor obstructs 60% of the tracheal diameter. We present the case of a 50 year old patient, ex-smoker with symptoms present 5 years before admittance with dyspnea and small hemoptysis. Diagnosis was based on bronchoscopic examination, CT scan and histological examination of the resection sample revealing a rare benign tracheal tumor: a hemangioma. The sequential treatment of the disease is presented: interventional endoscopy and surgical resection. The excellent postoperative evolution emphasized the diagnostic and therapeutic value of bronchoscopy as well as surgery in benign tracheal tumors.

A 66-year-old man with mitral stenosis on coumadin presents with hemoptysis caused by a capillary hemangioma of the proximal airways. Argon plasma coagulation was utilized to treat the lesions resulting in resolution of hemoptysis. Tracheobronchial capillary hemangiomas are rare in adults, but are easily discovered and treated with bronchoscopic intervention. The literature to date is reviewed pertaining to adult tracheobronchial capillary hemangiomas.

A 22-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of hemoptysis and respiratory insufficiency. The chest roentgenogram and the chest computed tomogram showed infiltrative shadows in the bilateral lower lobes and mediastinal emphysema. On the second day of hospitalization, we performed double lumen endotracheal tube intubations for the repeated life-threatening hemoptysis. Bronchoscope examination revealed normal bronchus with fibrin formation. Bronchial autobiography (BAG) showed a convoluted and enlarged right bronchial artery and bronchial-pulmonary artery shunt. We diagnosed primary racemose hemangioma of a bronchial artery and performed bronchial artery embolism (BAE) of the right upper bronchial artery using coil. There was no reccurence of hemoptysis after BAE procedure. BAE with coil seems to be effective for life-threatening hemoptysis due to racemose hemangioma.
