Composite hemangioendothelioma (CHE) is a rare, locally aggressive, vascular tumor of intermediate-/ low-grade malignancy, and is characterized by varying combinations of benign, low-grade malignant, and malignant vascular components. In cutaneous localization, only 22 cases have been reported so far. A new case of CHE of the gluteal region in a 58-year-old man is described. Microscopically, vascular neoplasm, situated mainly within the deep dermis and the subcutaneous fat tissue, was composed of sinusoidal hemangioma, arteriovenous hemangioma, retiform hemangioendothelioma (RHE), and angiosarcoma. An average number of mitoses within the angiosarcomatous component was 10 per 10 high-power fields. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for factor VIII-related antigen, CD34, and CD31 and negative for D2-40 and GLUT-1. Ki-67 labeling index was 21%, 1.2%, and 0% in the areas of angiosarcoma, RHE, and sinusoidal hemangioma, respectively. No recurrent disease was noted 3 months after the surgery. The present case displayed the following features previously undescribed in CHE: a novel component of sinusoidal hemangioma and localization at the gluteal region. We also provide review of clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical characteristics of cutaneous CHE from the published cases.

Article Synopsis
- Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that primarily affect the skin and soft tissues, with anastomosing hemangioma (AH) being a specific subtype that mimics more serious conditions like angiosarcoma; there are fewer than 300 reported cases of renal hemangiomas.
- A case study of a 28-year-old male revealed a left renal mass identified during tests for abdominal pain, with subsequent imaging and surgery confirming the diagnosis of AH through histopathological analysis and specific immunohistochemical markers.
- Accurate diagnosis of AH is crucial to avoid unnecessary treatment and complications, highlighting the need for greater awareness and reporting in the medical community to enhance diagnostic accuracy and patient management.

Article Synopsis
- Targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma (THH) is a rare vascular lesion that mainly affects adults, usually developing after trauma, with no significant gender preference.
- The review analyzes THH's characteristics, differentiating it from similar conditions like Kaposi's sarcoma and retiform hemangioendothelioma.
- Clinically, THH appears as painless lesions with a distinctive target-like look; histologically, it shows specific vascular features and can be identified with immunohistochemical markers.

Background: Cavernous hemangiomas are vascular malformations formed by groups of dilated sinusoids, organized in channels with a single layer of endothelium. Cavernous hemangiomas represent only 3% of all intradural lesions, and of these 5-12 % correspond to spinal cord lesions and those of the cauda equina are rare.
Clinic Case: A 57 years-old male patient is presented , without history of radiotherapy, who showed low back pain and contracture of the dorsal and paraspinal muscle during 6 months, evaluated in another hospital and diagnosed with a lumbar disc herniation, he was managed with analgesics and physiotherapy for two months, however the theraphy failed, the symptoms worsened and dysesthesias appeared in the gluteal and perianal region, with reduction of strength in both legs with predominance in the left leg, as well bladder sphincter dysfunction .

Intravascular lobular capillary hemangioma (ILCH), also known as intravenous pyogenic granuloma, is a benign vascular lesion with a distinctive lobular arrangement of capillaries. It is typically confined to the head, neck, and upper extremities, and its occurrence in the testicular region is exceedingly rare. Here, we present a case of a 68-year-old male who was initially diagnosed with a testicular tumor based on imaging studies but was later found to have an ILCH located in the epididymis.
