Abstract

Epitheloid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare vascular tumor with malignant biological behavior. It arises from vascular endothelial cells, usually within soft tissues, and can occur in almost all locations, but tumor can be found in liver, lungs, bone and skin. It is considered to be a low or borderline malignant tumor with, usually, slow progression, but aggressive forms have been described. We present a 24 year-old female case of multifocal epitheloid hemangioendothelioma of the soft tissue with its clinical, radiological and histopathological findings

Multifokal Epiteloid Hemanjioendotelyoma: Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Epiteloid hemanjioendotelyoma malign biyolojik davranış sergileyen nadir vasküler bir tümördür. Sıklıkla yumuşak vasküler endotelyal hücrelerden köken alır fakat karaciğer, akciğer, kemik ve deri gibi pek çok lokalizasyonda bulunabilir. Yavaş büyüyen düşük veya borderline malign tümör olarak kabul edilirler ancak agresif formları da bildirilmiştir.Bu yazıda 24 yaşında yumuşak dokuda multifokal yerleşimli epiteloid hemanjioendotelyoma olgusu klınik, radyolojik ve histopatolojik bulguları ile birlikte sunulmuştur.
