Solitary arteriovenous hemangioma of the lung without fistula: report of a case and literature review

ABSTRACT

Arterio-venous hemangiomas [also called vascular malformations] are uncommon lesions in general and very rarely reported as solitary lung tumors with no evidence of fistula formation or clinical evidence of shunting. We report the case of a 49 year old Indian male who presented to our institution with a right hilar lung mass which was histologically proven to be a classical arterio-venous hemangioma [vascular malformation]. The patient did not have clinical or radiological evidence of fistula or shunts formation
