A 19-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of bilateral multiple nodular shadows on the chest radiograph. She complained of no symptoms. The pulmonary lesions were diagnosed pathologically as epithelioid hemangioendothelioma. She has been followed without treatment for more than 10 years. Among all lesions, only two pulmonary nodules enlarged slightly, and it is interesting that one showed significant uptake in a fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) scan. The current case suggests the clinical usefulness of an FDG-PET scan in a pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (PEH) patient.
一名19岁女性因胸部X线片显示双侧多发性结节状阴影而转诊至我院。她没有任何症状。肺部病变经病理诊断为上皮样血管内皮瘤。她未经治疗随访了10多年。在所有病变中，只有两个肺结节略有增大，有趣的是，其中一个在氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描（FDG-PET）中显示出明显的摄取。本例提示FDG-PET扫描在肺上皮样血管内皮瘤（PEH）患者中的临床应用价值。
