ABSTRACT
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare vascular tumor that has been reported in systemic organs and in the skin as a biologically "borderline" neoplasm with intermediate malignant potentials. Skin involvement in EHE is rare, but when present, it occurs most commonly in the upper and lower extremities, presenting as a solitary, slightly painful, soft tissue mass. Skin involvement is often associated with underlying soft tissues or bone tumors. Histopathological study reveals cords and nests of epithelioid endothelial cells in a myxoid or hyalinized background and small intracytoplasmic vacuoles containing red blood cells. There have been no reported cases yet describing the dermoscopic features of EHE. Herein, we describe a young woman who developed cutaneous EHE that enlarged during pregnancy, we provided the dermoscopic findings and a review of the relevant literature.
