AI Article Synopsis
- A 73-year-old woman was diagnosed with a composite hemangioendothelioma (CHE), a rare type of multifocal vascular tumor.
- The tumor lesions emerged in an area affected by lymphedema, which is a condition that causes swelling due to fluid build-up.
- The case involved multiple tumors showing different histological characteristics, specifically spindle cell hemangioma and epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, found in the same anatomical region.
Article Abstract
We report the case of a 73-year-old female patient with a multifocal vascular tumor that we regard as composite hemangioendothelioma (CHE). The lesions developed in an area of lymphedema. CHEs are rare vascular tumors in which various types of hemangioendothelioma are combined in 1 lesion. In the present case, separate tumors with histologic features of spindle cell hemangioma and features resembling epithelioid hemangioendothelioma were clustered in 1 anatomic region.
