“…[1][2][3][4] When preoperative suspicion of malignancy is confirmed intraoperatively, or in the rare cases of malignancy already assessed by a cytologic examination, the treatment of choice should be the complete local excision of the neoformation, eventually associated with regional lymphadenectomy when macroscopically evident. 1,2,[6][7][8] In our experience we spared the radial nerve because it was not involved by the mass; however, a reconstruction is possible if the tumor is not dissociable from it. Differently from those tumors with high-grade infiltration, amputation is rarely required because EIHE is a localized lesion.…”

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is an extremely rare vascular tumor of intermediate malignancy. Generally it develops from the peripheral veins (usually the femoral vein). We report on a case of EHE of the radial artery, developed in a 26-year-old male patient, which presented as a solitary painless mass. He had a complete resection of the tumor and of the segment of radial artery involved. The histologic examination revealed an intravascular EHE, with low mitotic index and with insufficient histologic anormalities.

“…Local recurrence occurs in about 10 to 15% of osseous EHE cases [ 12 ] after a relatively long period of latency. Half of the metastases occur in locoregional lymph nodes or lungs [ 26 ], so periodic CT scans of regional lymph nodes and lungs are recommended in the follow-up. However, patients with metastases could be treated with surgery and then survive for a long time: only 20% of them die due to the disease after 5 years [ 27 ] because half of all metastases are in the regional lymph nodes and could be easily controlled with local surgical excision [ 28 ].…”

A rare case of intravascular epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the cephalic vein treated with surgery and postoperative radiation therapy: a case report and review of the literature

IntroductionEpithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare endothelial tumor with an intermediate grade of malignancy. Few cases of primary vascular hemangioendothelioma have been described in the literature. Surgery is the treatment of choice, but radiation therapy and chemotherapy should also be considered in particular cases.Case presentationWe present the case of a 44-year-old Caucasian woman affected by EHE of the cephalic vein, treated by complete surgical removal of the mass and postoperative local radiation therapy. At 5-year follow-up, our patient is alive, with no signs of local or distant relapse and with no late radiation-related effects.ConclusionsPostoperative radiotherapy may play a role in cases in which tumor margins are close or cannot be assessed or when high-risk features are present.

“…Las localizaciones más comunes de los HEE, de mayor a menor frecuencia, son: tejidos blandos, hígado, hueso, pulmón y piel (3,4) . No hay diferencia significativa en la frecuencia según sexo y edad, si bien en hígado y en pulmón son ligeramente más frecuentes en mujeres (1) , y en hueso son más frecuentes en personas jóvenes, mientras que el hígado y tejidos blandos son más frecuentes en la mediana edad (5,6) .…”

IntroducciónEl hemangioendotelioma epitelioide (HEE) es un tumor vascular poco frecuente, de malignidad intermedia entre el hemangioma epitelioide y el angiosarcoma epitelioide, con una mortalidad estimada de 20% (1,2) . Aunque su frecuencia de presentación es baja, puede originar problemas en el diagnóstico diferencial con otros tumores primarios o metastásicos, por lo que consideramos interesante revisar nuestra experiencia y aportar elementos útiles en el diagnóstico de los HEE en las tres localizaciones más frecuentes, con el propósito de proporcionar información de utilidad para el diagnóstico de estos tumores mediante el uso de las técnicas de imagen cotidianas: radiografías simples, ultrasonografía (US), tomografía computarizada (TC) y resonancia magnética (RM).
