- Abstract
Pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is an uncommon neoplastic disease of endothelial origin, with an incidence inferior to one in a million. It usually behaves as a low-grade malignancy; nevertheless, a few cases have been described in which this tumour manifests a highly aggressive behavior, spreading throughout the organism. We report the case of a 77-year-old woman who was diagnosed with metastatic pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma with severe symptoms, requiring urgent treatment to palliate them. Key words. Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma. Lung.
