Objective: The aim of the study was to analyze the CT morphology features of pulmonary sclerosing hemangiomas (PSHs) and improve the diagnosis ability of this disease. Methods: The 18 cases of pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma (PSH) confirmed by operation and histopathology from August 2002 to May 2009 were collected, including 17 females and 2 males, aged from 19 to 60 years old, with an average age of 43 years. All the cases underwent plain CT scan, among them,16 cases received enhanced CT scan. Results: The 18 cases had isolated mass. Mean long-axis diameter of these lesions was (2.7 ± 1.3) cm (range, 1.9-4.2 cm). Of all cases, 5 cases (27.8%) were round in shape, 9 cases (50%) were oval, 4 cases (22.2%) were lobulated, and 14 cases (77.8%) were smooth margin. The air meniscus sign was in 2 cases (11.1%), and the halo sign in 3 cases (16.7%). Two cases (11.1%) contained small nodular calcification, the remaining 16 cases (70%) were homogeneous density, the CT density of the masses ranged from 24-47 HU, and the mean value was 35 HU. Sixteen cases received enhanced scan, the welt vessel sign was in 8 cases (44.4%),1 case showed less enhancement, 5 cases showed marked homogeneous enhancement and 10 cases showed intense and patchy heterogeneous enhanced. The CT density of the enhancing masses ranged from 60-110 HU, the mean value was 35 HU, and the net enhancement value was 14-80 HU, the mean value was 55 HU. Conclusion: PSH should be considered in middle-aged female whose CT found that single round or oval pulmonary nodules, with smooth margin, or associated with the air meniscus sign, the halo sign, or the marked enhancement.
