Endobronchial localization of sclerosing hemangioma is extremely rare. Exact localization of lesion at preoperative work-up allows parenchymal-sparing procedures. We report a case of endobronchial sclerosing hemangioma diagnosed preoperatively and treated by lingular-sparing upper lobectomy with nodal dissection.
