On the basis of these findings, this patient was clinically suspected of having early primary lungadenocarcinoma. The patient underwent surgical resection of the nodule. The histopathological diagnosis of thelesion was solitary pulmonary capillary hemangioma. After the operation, there was no evidence of recurrence.Pulmonary solitary capillary hemangioma is a very rare disease.
