Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma with solitary bone location associated to multiple lung and liver lesions. A case report

Acta Radiol. 1999 Mar;40(2):217-9. doi: 10.3109/02841859909177742.

Abstract

Progressive development of a lobulated osteolytic lesion of the left calcaneus was observed in a 28-year-old woman. The bone tumor was associated with multiple lung nodules and later with a few small nodular liver lesions. A histological and immunochemical diagnosis of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma was obtained by bone tumor resection and thoracoscopic lung biopsy. Imaging aspects are reported with emphasis on its multifocality.
