Abstract
Objective: To describe the radiological findings of long-standing pulm onary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma. Materials and Methods: Serial radiography and CT, including high-resolution CT scans, were performed in two patients. Results: The tumor has remained radiographically sta tionary for 10 and 20 years, respectively. On CT, both patients showed multiple calcified pulmonary nodules, up to 1 cm in size with a periv ascular distribution. Interstitial involvement was seen in one case. C onclusion: Calcification and perivascular location of the tumoral nodu les were characteristic CT findings in our cases.
