Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma of the Distal Radius: A Case Report

Radiol Case Rep. 2015 Dec 7;2(4):119. doi: 10.2484/rcr.v2i4.119. eCollection 2007.

Abstract

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular tumor with cytologic behavior between angiosarcoma and hemangioma. We present the case of a 58-year-old male with primary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the distal radius measuring 6.2 × 5 cm with extension into the pronator quadratus and brachioradialis muscles. We discuss our approach to performing a limb-sparing resection combined with reconstruction to preserve upper extremity function. A review of the clinical, radiographic, and pathologic features of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is also presented.

Keywords: CT, computed tomography; EH, epithelioid hemangioendothelioma; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging.
