Abstract
IntroductionThe pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular intermediate malignancy tumour.Case presentationA 45-year-old man, he shows an isolated chronic cough with a preserved general state of health. The thoracoabdominal Computed tomography showed three well limited opacities of the right lung, among them one shows some calcifications; which we entirely resected by enucleation after a pneumotomy. The histologic examination with immunomarking led to an epithelioid hemangioendothelioma.ConclusionsThe pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a tumour of unpredictable prognosis, bad when linked to the plurifocal and symptomatic forms.

Summary
The pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular intermediate malignancy tumour. We report the observation of a multifocal form treated surgically, with a favourable development. Case presentation A 45-year-old man, African origin and Moroccan nationality, with no specific history. He shows an isolated chronic cough with a preserved general state of health. The clinical and biological examinations were normal. A right posterolateral thoracotomy showed three solid masses, each of them located in a lobe, which we entirely resected by enucleation after a pneumotomy (Figure 2). The histologic examination with immunomarking led to an epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (Figures 3 and 4). The development was favourable after a thirty-month follow-up
