A case of cystic sclerosing hemangioma of the lung is reported. A chest X-ray of a 55-year-old woman who had been suffering from a cough with sputum for several months revealed an abnormal nodular shadow. A chest CT scan revealed a solitary tumor with cystic appearance occupying S7 of the right lung and the inferior pulmonary ligament. Radiological differential diagnosis for the lesion included bronchogenic cyst, cystic Schwannoma, pulmonary necrotic carcinoid, and lung carcinoma. Right lower lobectomy was carried out and the lesion was pathologically diagnosed as sclerosing hemangioma of the lung with cystic features, expanding into the pulmonary ligament. Differential diagnosis of the cystic lesion of the lung should include cystic sclerosing hemangioma as observed in this case.
