The biosynthesis of extracellular matrix proteins by primary cultures of endothelial cells from human umbilical vein, and by clones from a murine hemangioendothelioma, was studied and compared to that reported for endothelium cultured from other sources. Umbilical vein endothelial cells secreted two glycoproteins-fibronectin and thrombospondin-which comprise the major proportion of the protein ...

INTRODUCTION Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) of the bone is extremely rare and occurs predominantly in males. It most frequently occurs during the second and third decades of life. The lower extremities are most commonly involved. We describe a diagnostically challenging case of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of proximal phalanx of 2nd toe of left foot with histological features remini...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and biologic behaviour of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma in the oral cavity. MATERIALS AND METHODS The clinical features and pathological findings of nine cases with intraoral epithelioid hemangioendothelioma were reviewed, including immunohistochemistry study. RESULTS This series comprised seven males and two females aged 6...
