title: Epithelioid angiosarcoma of the lung: a rare late complication of Lucite plombage.
abstract: Epithelioid angiosarcoma of the lung is a rare late complication of Lucite plombage treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. We describe the clinical, radiological and pathologic findings of a case of epithelioid angiosarcoma of the lung presenting with persistent haemoptysis who had undergone remote lung collapse therapy with Lucite plombage.
