Pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (PEH) is a rare vascular tumor of borderline malignancy that originates from endothelial cells. Chest computed tomography (CT) performed during a routine cancer screening revealed multiple small pulmonary nodules in a 50-year-old man who had previously undergone endoscopic submucosal dissection of early gastric cancer. To rule out metastatic nodules, a wedge resection of the left upper lobe was performed and the frozen biopsy reported a benign fibrotic nodule. Using immunohistochemistry, the final pathology was indicated to be PEH, and consecutive surgery for the right-side nodules was planned and performed.
肺上皮样血管内皮瘤(PEH)是一种起源于内皮细胞的罕见的交界性恶性血管肿瘤。在一名50岁男性的常规癌症筛查中进行的胸部计算机断层扫描(CT)显示,该患者此前曾接受早期胃癌的内镜黏膜下剥离术,肺部有多个小结节。为排除转移瘤,对左上叶进行了楔形切除术,冰冻活检报告为良性纤维化结节。通过免疫组织化学检查,最终病理结果显示为PEH,并计划对右侧结节进行连续手术并实施了手术。
