Abstract

Summary: A case of histiocytoma of the lung in a four-year old boy is reported. He presented with cardiac failure and features of chronic pulmonary discase and died during operation. Macroscopically, the lesion appeared benign, but histological appearances revealed low grade malignancy. There is controversy about the nature of histiocytic tumours.
