Pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma with PlGF expression: report of a case
Thorac Cardiovasc Surg.

Abstract
Pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (PEH) is a relatively uncommon neoplasm of vascular origin with a low or intermediate grade of malignancy. We present a case of a 28-year-old female with multiple pulmonary nodules which were diagnosed as PEH by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) biopsy. In addition, we performed an immunohistochemical analysis for placenta growth factor (PlGF) and a strong positivity for PlGF observed, suggesting that the PlGF may play some role in the tumorigenesis of PEH.
