Thoracic hemangiomatosis is an extremely rare condition of the thorax of unknown origin: thin-walled capillary blood vessels infiltrate the lung parenchyma, blood vessels, interlobular septa, bronchiolar walls and pleura. The infiltration of pulmonary veins and venules induces secondary pulmonary veno-occlusive disease and pulmonary hypertension with a slowly progressive clinical course. This condition can be associated with vascular dementia and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)

Abstract
Thoracic hemangiomatosis is an extremely rare condition of the thorax of unknown origin: thin-walled capillary blood vessels infiltrate the lung parenchyma, blood vessels, interlobular septa, bronchiolar walls and pleura. The infiltration of pulmonary veins and venules induces secondary pulmonary veno-occlusive disease and pulmonary hypertension with a slowly progressive clinical course. This condition can be associated with vascular dementia and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
