Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the radial artery

J Vasc Surg. 2005 Jan;41(1):151-4. doi: 10.1016/j.jvs.2004.10.036.

Abstract

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.
