Abstract
ARASANZ, H. et al. Highly aggressive pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma: A case report. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2017, vol.40, n.2, pp.309-314. ISSN 1137-6627. https://dx.doi.org/10.23938/assn.0035.
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.
