Thoracic hemangiomatosis masquerading as interstitial lung disease.

Pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis is an extremely rare condition, first described by Wagenvoort. In this condition, sheets of thin-walled blood vessels infiltrate the lung parenchyma, bronchioles, and pleura. Three previous cases have been described in the literature. We describe a fourth. It probably represents a congenital abnormality.
