AI Article Synopsis
- - The case involves a 34-year-old man with progressing ulnar neuropathy, linked to a rare epithelioid hemangioendothelioma found in the wall of the ulnar artery in the distal forearm.
- - This type of tumor typically arises from veins, making arterial cases uncommon, and the paper aims to highlight its unique imaging findings through ultrasound and MRI.
- - The research emphasizes the importance of recognizing this rare vascular tumor to prevent surgical complications and adds valuable information to existing medical literature.
Article Abstract
We present a rare case of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma arising from the wall of ulnar artery in distal forearm. The presentation was interesting in a 34-year-old man, with progressively worsening symptoms of ulnar neuropathy. A mass was seen arising from the ulnar artery on imaging with ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. Soft tissue epithelioid hemangioendothelioma in extremities almost always arise from the veins. Existing literature do not have elaborated imaging findings of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma arising from the arterial wall. The aim of this paper is to briefly review the interesting presentation and imaging features of this rare entity. Knowledge of such vascular tumor would avoid the mishap during surgery. Our case will add an interesting presentation of such rare pathology to the existing literature.
