Clinical case of the month
Multiple pulmonary nodules. Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma. The epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the lung is generally detected incidentally by a routine chest radiograph, usually in young asymptomatic woman. This tumor pursues a clinical course intermediate between that of hemangioma and angiosarcoma. Survival over 20 years have already been described in the literature. We report the case of a pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma diagnosed 16 years ago, with hepatic metastases and a radiologic follow-up that highlights the slow evolution of the pulmonary and hepatic lesions.
