Introduction: Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rarely seen tumor most frequently originating from vascular structures of different regions including liver, followed by stomach, spleen, lung, bone, soft

Pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (PEH), previously known as "intravascular bronchoalveolar tumor," is a rare vascular malignancy with an unpredictable prognosis. Treatment can vary from observation in asymptomatic patients to surgery in patients with resectable disease or chemotherapy in patients with disseminated disease. This report describes the clinical, radiological and pathologi...

kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (khe) appears as a single lesion at birth or early infancy in an equal sex ratio. a rare aggressive vascular proliferation has been recognized as a separate entity from other childhood vascular neoplasm. a 3-year-old iranian boy with a rapidly enlarging mass in his (posterior aspect of skull at the midline) skull was present here. physical examination revealed a ...

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a relatively uncommon lesion usually presenting in soft tissues. The occurrence in the mediastinum is exceptional rare. Histologically, this tumor is characterized by epithelioid cells with intracytoplasmic vacuoles in a hyalinized or mucinous stroma. Occasionally, spindle cells or osteoclast-like giant cells can be observed. Herein, we present a case of epit...

objective(s) this study planned to assess the value of pcr is6110 assay in tissue specimens of needle pleural biopsy in patients suspicious to pleural tuberculosis. materials and methods sixty eight patients with lymphocytic exudative pleural effusion underwent pleural biopsy. tissue samples were sent for pathologic examination and pcr is6110 assay. the results of pcr reported as positive/ nega...

Malignant epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EH) is a rare tumor of vascular origin. We report a case of a woman who was found to have multiple hepatic masses in the right lobe of the liver on radiologic investigations, initially misdiagnosed as a metastatic carcinoma. The diagnosis of EH was made on histopathological study and confirmed by immunohistochemistry, which showed diffuse response for...

the causes and situation of exudative pleural effusion vary from one area to another. a cross-sectional study was conducted on 327 patients with exudative pleural effusion in south khorasan province (iran). the patients were older than 12 years and comprised 172 (52.6%) males and 155 (47.4%) females. the study commenced in 2007 with seven years duration. the light’s criteria were used to define...

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a vascular tumor with an intermediate malignant potential. This tumor is very rare in the lung parenchyma, and most of the previously reported cases have been asymptomatic. There is no standard therapy for this tumor and prognosis in the previous reports has been variable.Herein we report our experience with a 60-year-old woman presenting with hemoptysis and ...

A rare presentation of an oral hemangioma in a 3month-old child is reported. The lesion was gray, began central in bone, and expanded rapidly into the oral cavity. The hemangioma is a tumor of mesenchymal origin. It is found occasionally in the oral cavity. The cellular hemangioma is one of a family of tumors characterized by the formation of vascular tubes of endothelial cells. The tumors are ...
