The Air Meniscus Sign in Sclerosing Hemangioma of the Lung

Abstract

The air meniscus sign occurs in a number of lung conditions, including infection, benign and malignant tumors, and hematoma. Sclerosing hemangioma does not appear to have been implicated previously in this connection. Two such cases are described. Possible mechanisms of air meniscus formation and its diagnostic value in sclerosing hemangioma are discussed.
