Fig. 1. Arteriovenous malformation/hemangioma (AVMH) of the lung. (A) Chest computed tomography reveals a mass-like lesion measuring 45 mm, and the lesion shows mild heterogeneous fludeoxyglucose uptake on positron emission tomography scan. (B) On the cut section of the lobectomy specimen, an ill-defined rubbery mass-like lesion (black arrows) is noted adjacent to dilated bronchial lumen with mucin impaction (white arrow). Microscopically, the lesion grows between the bronchial mucosa and cartilage plate (C) and consists of multiple thick and prominent vessels of various sizes, consistent with the diagnosis of AVMH (D). (E) Elastic stain visualizes no definite elastic lamina.
