RESUMO
An extremely rare case of pulmonary epitheloid hemangioendothelioma (PEH), previously known as intravascular bronchoalveolar tumor (IVBAT), in a 38-year-old female is presented. This patient had a history of rheumatoid arthritis and bilateral multiple small pulmonary nodules which progressed over the years. The histopathological diagnosis of PEH was confirmed by immunohistochemical stains. Prognosis of this tumor is very unpredictable. There is no effective treatment for pulmonary epitheloid hemangioendothelioma.
