  • Title: Lung lobar collapse as the first manifestation of pulmonary epithelioid haemangioendothelioma diagnosed with fibreoptic bronchoscopy.
    Author: Abdalla A, Seedahmed E, Bachuwa G, Congdon D.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2016 Oct 24; 2016():. PubMed ID: 27797814.
    Abstract:
    Pulmonary epithelioid haemangioendothelioma (PEH) is a rare tumour of endothelial origin that usually occurs in the lung and liver. It usually presents as bilateral multiple nodular lesions. We report a middle-aged woman with a unique presentation of PEH with lung lobar collapse. The diagnosis was made with fibreoptic bronchoscopy rather than video-assisted thoracoscopy. Clinicians and pathologists should be aware of rare conditions that can present as lung lobar collapse.
