[A case report of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the lung].
A 15-year-old woman presented with an abnormal chest X-ray taken at a medical check up. Her chest X-ray disclosed multiple nodular shadows in bilateral lung fields. A transbronchial biopsy was non-diagnostic and an open biopsy was performed. The tumor was histologically diagnosed as epithelioid hemangioendothelioma on the basis of associated with immunoreactivity to factor-VIII related antigen by immunohistochemistry and the presence of Weibel-Pallade bodies on electron microscopy. She has been followed-up in her home town without significant change.
