    Abstract:
    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.
