Pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (PEH) is a rare vascular tumor of low-grade malignancy, the prognosis of which remains unpredictable. Surgical and/or chemotherapeutic options have to be evaluated depending on intrathoracic tumor spread and systemic metastases. Three cases of PEH with both clinical and pathological findings are herein summarized and the relevant current literature discussed.
