Abstract
Pulmonary capillary hemangioma is a rare disease. The findings on computed tomography (CT) are similar to those of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma. We report a case of pulmonary capillary hemangioma. A 55-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a pulmonary nodule. A chest CT scan revealed a small nodule with ground-glass opacity in the anterior basal segment of the right lung. As the nodule was suspected to be lung cancer, we performed a right anterior basal segmentectomy using a totally thoracoscopic surgical procedure. The pathological diagnosis was pulmonary capillary hemangioma.
