Abstract
Non-small cell pulmonary carcinomas represent the majority of tumors located in the superior sulcus. However, only 5% of all non-small cell pulmonary carcinomas present in the superior sulcus. Other causes of superior sulcus tumors include metastatic tumors, hematologic malignancies, infectious causes, and amyloid nodules, as well as other lesions. We report a case in which a venous hemangioma presented as a superior sulcus tumor.
