Pulmonary Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma in a Patient with Liver Metastases After Approximately Eight Years' Follow-up

Abstract

Background. There is no standard treatment for pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (PEHE). Case. A 48-year-old woman was diagnosed with PEHE in year X-8 and followed without medical treatment. She was diagnosed with hepatic metastasis of PEHE in year X. Maintenance therapy with carboplatin (CBDCA), pemetrexed (PEM), and bevacizumab (BEV) helped prevent disease progression. Conclusion. Chemotherapy with CBDCA, PEM, and BEV may be effective for PEHE.
