Abstract
|
|
|
|
Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) are very rare mesenchymal neoplasms, composed of histologically and immunohistochemically distinctive cells that form a sheet-like appearance around vessel lumens. Although most are benign, a malignant subset does exist, complicating clinical diagnostic efforts. Proper evaluation and management are thus essential for long-term patient survival. Herein, we present a rare case of a benign pulmonary PEComa that was diagnosed postoperatively in a 45-year-old woman.
