CT and PET/CT findings of pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma

Objective:The CT and PET/CT findings of pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma(P-EHE)were analyzed to improve the diagnostic accuracy of the disease.Methods:The clinical,CT and PET/CT data of 7 cases of pathologically diagnosed P-EHE were analyzed retrospectively,according to the image manifestation,we divided the lesions into central type and peripheral type.Results:Of the 7 cases,5 cases underwent CT plain scan and enhanced scan,1 case underwent PET/CT and 1 case underwent CT and PET/CT.CT findings:central type in 1 case,showing endobronchial nodules.Peripheral type in 6 cases,showing multiple nodules with or without mass,including masses in 4 cases,simple multiple nodules in 2 cases,ground-glass opacity in 2 cases,punctate calcification in 3 cases,pleural thickening with pleural effusion in 2 cases,pneumothorax in 1 case.Nodules were mostly distributed in the outer zone of the lung field and under the pleura,and were closely related to the adjacent broncho-vascular tracts.PET/CT findings:2 cases showed peripheral type with masses,which showed increased radioactivity uptake and increased SUV values in some nodules,of which 1 case found increased radioactivity uptake in the left lower pleura,mediastinal and retroperitoneal lymph nodes,pericardium,lumbar vertebrae and right ilium.Conclusion:Some lesions of P-EHE have characteristic manifestations,which is very helpful for preoperative diagnosis.
