Abstract

Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma(EH) is a rare vascular tumor, originating from endothelial cells. The principal locations are lung, soft tissue, bone and liver. This tumor is of borderline malignancy, relatively benign course. In the lung, the tumor is often multifocal, bilateral and frequently lead to the mistaken diagnosis of metastatic carcinoma. Although EH of the lung is relatively slow growing tumor, extensive pulmonary involvement, systemic metastasis, mainly to the liver have been documented. A 26-year-old man with EH involving the lung and liver was reported. Chest X-ray and chest CT showed multiple nodules in both lung fields and Abdominal CT multiple round low densities in liver. Transbronchial lung biopsy was performed. The patient diagnosed as EH by light microscopic finding and immunohistochemical study for Factor VIII-related antigen.
