Abstract
- A sixty-eight year old female patient was transferred to our department for the resection of a solitary pulmonary nodule on the right lower lobe. An intraoperative frozen-section revealed a bronchioloalveolar carcinoma. Therefore, a right lower lobectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection were performed.

Herein, our experience of the treatment of a sclerosing hemagioma presenting with a solitary pulmonary nodule by a lobectomy is reported with a review of the literature
