Abstract
- Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HE) is a very rare malignant tumor that is pathologically benign tumor originating from endothelial cell but clinically presents metastasis and recurrence. A 29-year-old asymptomatic man, preoperatively diagnosed as lung cancer in the left lower lung, underwent a lobectomy, a wedge lung resection of left upper lung, and partial resection of diaphragm. Left lower lobar lesion was confirmed as pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, but the lesions of the left upper lung and diaphragm were remained calcified by spontaneous regression of HE. We report a case of subcutaneous metastasis that occurred two times at 10 months and 19 months after previous surgical treatment of pulmonary EH.
