Objectives: Sclerosing pneumocytoma (sclerosing hemangioma, SP) is a rare benign tumor of the lung with a low risk of recurrence. The genomic profile of SP is not well-known. Here we report gene mutation findings in a 17year-old girl with SP.Materials and methods: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), next-generation sequencing (NGS), and sanger sequencing were performed on the tumor tissue of this patient for pathological diagnosis and gene mutation analysis.Results and conclusion: Two mutations were identified in the tumor tissue by NGS and sanger sequencing: AKT1 E17K and BRAF (B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase) V600E. This is the first case report of a BRAF V600E mutation in a patient with SP. This discovery extends our understanding of the pathogenesis of SP, and suggests the need for future testing of BRAF V600E in this rare tumor type.
