Abstract
Three [human] cases of pulmonary fibrous histiocytoma, sometimes known as xanthogranuloma and fibrous xanthoma, are described. The lesion is part of a spectrum of diseases known as postinflammatory pseudotumors of the lung. It is usually discovered on routine radiographic examination on which it appears as a well-circumscribed mass, and it usually has a benign course. The microscopic findings upon which diagnosis is based, the theories of origin and previously reported cases are discussed.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
