  • Title: [A case of pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma diagnosed by video-assisted thoracoscopic biopsy].
    Author: Horio H, Nomori H, Fuyuno G, Kobayashi R, Morinaga S, Suemasu K.
    Journal: Kyobu Geka; 1998 Aug; 51(9):753-7. PubMed ID: 9742818.
    Abstract:
    A regular annual physical checkup for a 46-year-old man revealed multiple small nodules, which were less than 1 cm in diameter, in both lungs. Metastatic lung tumors were suspected, but no primary lesion was found in the general examination. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) diagnosed multiple pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (PEH), so no treatment was performed. Careful follow-up showed no significant change during 10 months. VATS is thus a certain, noninvasive procedure for the diagnosis of PEH.
