Epithelioid angiosarcoma of the lung: a rare late complication of Lucite plombage.

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.
