Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH), typically a benign vasoproliferative lesion of the skin or mucosal surfaces, is exceptionally rare in the trachea. Now, we present the second reported case of LCH found in the right intermediate bronchus, characterized by calcification within the lesion and cystic changes. These distinctive features should alert clinicians to consider LCH in the differential diagnosis of other benign vascular tumors and mediastinal lymphadenopathy, particularly when calcified and cystic lesions are observed.
小叶性毛细血管瘤(LCH)通常是皮肤或黏膜表面的一种良性血管增生性病变,在气管中极为罕见。现在,我们报告第二例在右中间支气管发现的LCH病例,其特征为病变内有钙化及囊性改变。这些独特特征应提醒临床医生在鉴别诊断其他良性血管肿瘤和纵隔淋巴结病时考虑LCH,尤其是当观察到钙化和囊性病变时。
