Abstract
Pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma is a rare, benign lung tumor that usually occurs
in middle-aged women. It usually manifests as isolated pulmonary nodules and is often
confused with other solitary, benign nodules. We present a case of sclerosing pneumocytoma
with clustered lung nodules and surrounding ground-glass opacity in a single lobe
in a young man. Progressive growth was seen on serial computed tomography observations,
and the nodules appeared similar to those seen in active pulmonary tuberculosis.
