The epithelioid vascular tumors include epithelioid hemangioma, epithelioid
hemangioendothelioma and epithelioid angiosarcoma. We report the case of a
difficult to define vascular epithelioid tumor. The tumor localized in the
head developed in art eruptive way in multiple bone and skin locations in
a 22-year-old man. The lesions had the same histological features as those
of epithelioid hemangioma and epithelioid hemangioendothelioma with a spind
le-cell component. This tumor was called eruptive epithelioid hemangioendot
helioma with spindle cells. In our case, its development with recurrences a
nd destructive features has some similarities to tumors of intermediate mal
ignancy.
