A 45-year-old woman whose x-ray film revealed multiple widespread bilateral small nodules was diagnosed as having pulmonary tuberculosis or metastatic pulmonary cancer. A conclusive histological diagnosis of pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (PEH) was made following an open-lung biopsy. PEH is a progressive disease that probably originates from an endothelial cell. However, there is still no effective therapeutic modality for PEH. The postoperative course of our patient has been uneventful with no evidence of tumor growth for four and a half years after initial x-ray detection of the lesions.
一名45岁女性，其X光片显示双侧多发广泛小结节，被诊断为患有肺结核或转移性肺癌。经开胸肺活检后，最终确诊为肺上皮样血管内皮瘤（PEH）。PEH是一种可能起源于内皮细胞的进行性疾病。然而，目前仍没有针对PEH的有效治疗方法。自最初通过X光检测到病变以来，我们这位患者的术后病程一直平稳，在四年半的时间里没有肿瘤生长的迹象。
