Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare malignant vascular tumor that has been described in numerous sites such as soft tissue, liver, and lungs. However, primary lymph nodal presentation of hemangioendothelioma is extremely rare. We present a 49-year-old male patient who presented with an inguinal mass but was otherwise asymptomatic. Clinical and radiological workup failed to reveal any other primary lesion. The lymph node was excised and the histomorphological examination showed an epithelioid and spindle neoplasm with chondromyxoid stroma. The diagnosis of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma was suspected based on histomorphology and immunohistochemistry, which showed diffuse positivity for CD31, CD34, and TFE3 stains. This was further confirmed by the fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH) technique that showed TFE3 gene rearrangement.
