ABSTRACT
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma(EH) is a low-grade tumor of vascular endothelial cell origin, which most commonly occur in the lower extremities of middle-aged patients with an equal gender distribution. It may occur on internal organs such as the liver or lung or bones. A 54-year-old woman who had a history of metastatic adenocarcinoma of unknown origin on the right inguinal lymph node, was presented to us because of a 1.0 x 1.0cm-sized and 2 x 2cm-sized two subcutaneous nodule on her right shin. On H & E stain, there were nests of round nucleated, polygonal, vacuolated cells, some of which contained fragmented erythrocytes. Factor VIII related antigen, CD31 was positive. A diagnosis of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma was established based on histologic, immunohistochemical studies. Wide excision was performed. There was no recurrence nor the development of new lesions so far.
