“Epithelioid hemangioendothelimoma” an unusual lung tumor: A case report.

ABSTRACT

A 18-year-old Thai woman with preceding asymptomatic skin nodules for 4 years was admitted for the evaluation of progressive dyspnea during the past 4 months. The findings of iron deficiency anemia with diffuse nodular pulmonary infiltrates led to the open lung biopsy with simultaneous skin biopsy. The final pathological diagnosis was epithelioid hemangioendothelioma. Possible primary soft tissue tumor with lung and liver metastasis was postulated from the clinical findings ad investigative results.
