- Abstract
Alveolar adenoma is a rare pulmonary neoplasm with a female predominance, and it was considered to be a histologic variant of sclerosing hemangioma in the past. A chest X-ray usually shows a well-defined, peripheral, solitary nodule similar to that of sclerosing hemangioma. Chest CT shows a solitary, well-defined, peripheral nodule with homogeneous density and no contrast enhancement, which is contrary to marked contrast enhancement of sclerosing hemangioma. We report the first case of alveolar adenoma with spotty enhancement o f the nodule similar to that of sclerosing hemangioma on contrast enhanced CT, based on the presence of stromal vessels in the interstitium of the compact alveolar area on histopathologic comparison.
