  • Title: Epithelioid haemangioendothelioma of the lung: a high malignancy case.
    Author: Paciocco G, Caterino U, D'Auria D.
    Journal: Monaldi Arch Chest Dis; 1999 Jun; 54(3):231-3. PubMed ID: 10441976.
    Abstract:
    Pulmonary epithelioid haemangioendothelioma (PEH) is a rare lung tumour of vascular origin and low-grade malignancy that affects various organs: liver, central nervous system, lung, etc. A rare malignant case of PEH is described. The cryptic clinical appearance and the nonspecific results of radiography and haematological tests caused great difficulty in arriving at a definite diagnosis. Histological analysis and immunohistochemical detection of CD31+ (a membrane receptor and a sensitive and specific marker for vascular lesions), on open lung biopsy, enabled the correct diagnosis to be made.
