Abstract
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.
