Epitheloid hemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular tumor of low level of malignancy that emerges in the endothelial cells and may develop in any other tissue. It is generally secondary tumor in the lung but it may also appear as primary one, being very unusual. Generally speaking, it appears in the form of multiple bilateral nodules in young women. It rarely develops as a single pulmonary nodule. The single unilateral nodules may be surgically removed. This is the case of a 11-years old girl who was hospitalized with a diagnostic suspicion of lobular pneumonia, but her unfavorable progression required biopsy of the lesion with resulting epitheloid hemangioendothelioma. The diagnosis and the treatment for this pathological entity were also discussed.
