INTRODUCTION Jejuno-jejunal invagination is a rare condition and is usually caused by a benign lesion. We describe the case of a patient with a jejunal epithelioid sarcoma. Epithelioid sarcoma is a rare histologic subtype of sarcoma and few cases have been published. CASE PRESENTATION A 70-year-old Caucasian man presented with vomiting and anemia. A jejuno-jejunal invagination was diagnosed a...

Distal epithelioid sarcoma is a rare and slowly growing tumor that usually develops in the upper extremities of young adults. Neoplastic cells have both spindle and epithelioid appearance and are characterized by the loss of the nuclear protein SMARCB1/INI1. We present the case of a distal epithelioid sarcoma arising in the thumb of a 14-year-old girl, which immunohistochemically was characteri...

AIMS AND BACKGROUND Epithelioid angiosarcoma is a rare histopathologic variant of angiosarcoma characterized by an epithelioid morphology. This subset can histologically mimic non-vascular neoplasms and impose serious challenges in reaching a correct diagnosis, especially in the context of limited tissue sampling (e.g., needle core biopsy). To improve recognition of epithelioid angiosarcoma - a...

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is an uncommon malignant vascular tumour usually involving soft tissue and rarely only skin. It is considered to be a borderline neoplasm between angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia and an epithelioid angiosarcoma and is mostly found in adults with few cases reported in children. We herein report a case of ulcerated cutaneous epithelioid hemangioendothel...

The granulomas of sarcoidosis and non-caseating tuberculosis show similar cell-types: two forms of epithelioid cells, A and B, giant cells, lymphocytes and 'activated' mononuclear cells. The morphology of epithelioid cells suggests that they are primarily biosynthetic rather than phagocytic. The relationship of these various cells to each other is discussed and the following sequence of granulo...

Pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is an uncommon lung malignancy of endothelial origin. Besides demonstrating unpredictable presentation features and prognosis, the paucity of established treatment guidelines remains a challenge in managing these patients. We present two patients. The first patient presented with chronic productive cough over 1-year duration. He was initially diagnosed...

An unusual primary adenomatoid tumour arising in the normal liver is described. Hepatectomy was performed, and the patient is alive and free of disease 1 year postsurgery. Grossly, the tumour showed a haemorrhagic cut surface with numerous microcystic structures. Histological examination revealed cystic or angiomatoid spaces of various sizes lined by cuboidal, low-columnar, or flattened epithel...

Epithelioid sarcoma (ES) is a very rare characterized by loss of INI1 . Enzinger first described ES in 1970, but the histopathologic differential diagnosis remains challenging. There are two subtypes, classical type with spindle epithelioid to central pseudogranulomatous cells, and proximal type, which predominantly composed rhabdoid cells. symptoms signs not specific depend on tumor localizati...
