With the exception of leiomyomas, soft tissue tumors of the uterine corpus are not common. This is particularly true for vascular neoplasms, with the epithelioid hemangioendothelioma being a curiosity; not more than twenty-two cases of malignant hemangioendotheliomas have been reported in the literature so far, all of which were high-grade hemangioendotheliomas (hemangiosarcomas). We present he...

We describe the case of a 70-year-old man with unicentric grade 1 epitheloid hemangioendothelioma (EH) of the bone that favourably responded to intravenous pamidronate as a single agent. After 6 years of follow-up, the patient was in complete remisssion. We suggest that use of bisphosphonates should be considered in the treatment of osteolytic EH.

conclusions the clinical features are effective indicators for distinguishing ihh from hbl, and the spectral doppler may be a useful adjunct parameter for differential diagnosis. objectives to study the clinical manifestations and the ultrasound features of the pediatric patients for distinguishing ihh from hbl. patients and methods between 2002 and 2012, thirteen children with ihh and 38 child...

Retiform hemangioendothelioma (RH) is a rare low-grade variant of angiosarcoma mostly reported on dermis or subcutaneously. A 30-year-old woman suffering from dry cough, dyspnea and pleural effusion has been described. Distinctive symptoms and lesions on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan and common histological, immunological feature are discussed. Diagnosis was made by thoracosco...

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular neoplasm which exhibits the potential for malignancy and recurrence as well as the ability to metastasize. Although numerous sites of involvement are possible, these tumors most commonly arise in soft tissues, lung, liver, bone, and lymph nodes. In this report, we describe a case of oral epithelioid hemangioendothelioma in a child. This tumor ...

Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP) is a rare consumptive coagulopathy associated with specific vascular tumors, kaposiform hemangioendothelioma, and tufted angioma. Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon, characterized by profound thrombocytopenia, hypofibrinogenemia, elevated fibrin split products, and rapid tumor growth, can be life-threatening. Severe symptomatic anemia may also be present. With prompt ...

Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma is a rare human vascular neoplasm. In veterinary medicine this tumor type was only recognized in the dog. Here we describe an unusual case arising in the urinary bladder of a Holstein-Friesian adult cow. Histologically the tumor presented a nodular proliferation of spindle cells, forming angular slits, often containing extravasated erythrocytes. Peripherically, w...

A 37-year-old woman presented with left eye pain, headaches, and vision loss. MRI showed a left sphenoid mass, with optic nerve compression and proptosis (figure 1). The left eye had minimal reactivity to light, scleral erythema, and proptosis. A metastatic lesion or a lymphoma was suspected; however, pathology showed an epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (figure 2). There was no extracranial dis...

A 17-year-old Hispanic female presented to our hospital with complaints of right upper quadrant abdominal pain, vomiting, and fever. Physical exam was positive for hepatomegaly. Abdominal computed tomography showed multiple hypoechoic liver masses. Liver biopsy was done, which was diagnostic for hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma.
