We report a case of pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis-like foci (PCH-like foci), presenting as multiple ground-glass opacities (GGOs) on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT). The patient underwent a left lingual segmentectomy to make a definite diagnosis of these GGOs on chest CT. Histological findings were similar to PCH; however, there were no clinical symptoms or findings of pulmonary hypertension. Accordingly, PCH-like foci was diagnosed.
