We report a rare case of metastatic epithelioid haemangioendothelioma from an unknown primary site presenting with axillary lymph node metastases. The patient also had a new-onset membranous glomerulonephritis and thromboembolism, which we postulate were paraneoplastic. The pathogenesis of this rare cancer, the risk of misdiagnosis and membranous glomerulonephritis as a paraneoplastic syndrome are discussed.
我们报告了一例罕见的转移性上皮样血管内皮细胞瘤，该肿瘤来源于未知原发灶，伴腋窝淋巴结转移。患者还伴有新发膜性肾小球肾炎和血栓栓塞，我们推测这是副肿瘤性的。讨论了这种罕见癌症的发病机制、误诊风险以及膜性肾小球肾炎作为副肿瘤综合征的可能性。
