Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia of the lung

J Comput Assist Tomogr. 2002 May-Jun;26(3):362-4. doi: 10.1097/00004728-200205000-00008.

Abstract

Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) is a benign vascular endothelial proliferation, which is usually confined to the lumen of preexisting vessels or vascular malformation. IPEH usually presents as a single lesion, and it rarely involves the lung. We describe a rare case of intrapulmonary IPEH presented by multiple variably sized, well-defined nodules occurring in a 52-year-old woman.
