Hemangioendotelioma epitelioide pulmonar, um caso clínico

ABSTRACTThe authors report the clinical case of a 48-year­old female patient, with a history of diabetes mellitus type 2. She developed hemoptysis associated with widespread radiological manifestations. An epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the lung was diagnosed. This is a tumor of a vascular nature with an intermediate behaviour between a benign hemangioma and a angiosarcoma.As there is no description of the benefits of radiotherapy or chemiotberapy in the literature, the treatment recommended in this case for this condition was simply symptomatic.REV PORT PNEUMOL 2000; VI (2): 155-16
