While lung cancer is the predominant neoplasm causing hemoptysis, rare benign neoplasms can also be associated with hemoptysis. A 60-year-old woman presented with cough and hemoptysis. Chest computed tomography revealed an oval-shaped, well-circumscribed solitary mass (10 cm in size) in the right lower lobe, which had grown rapidly over the past year. The presence of intramass air bubbles and a surrounding halo of ground-glass opacities suggested the hemorrhagic rupture of a circumscribed hematoma into the surrounding lung tissue. Subsequent right lower lobectomy revealed a well-demarcated hematoma; its wall consisted of nonatypical spindle tumor cells, which were histologically diagnosed as meningioma. No meningioma was observed in the central nervous system, leading to the diagnosis of primary pulmonary meningioma. This case highlights PPM as a rare benign tumor (World Health Organization grade 1) capable of rapid development due to intratumoral hemorrhage, presenting with hemoptysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
