ABSTRACT
|
|
Introduction:Epithelioid hemangioendo-thelioma (EHE) is a rare malignant tumor of vascular origin. Most of the times it affects liver, lung and bones, although this kind of tumor may involve the head and neck area, breast, lymph nodes, mediastinum, brain and meninges, spine, skin, abdomen and many other sites. We report a case of a 59-year-old Jordanian man, who was found to have multiple lesions, in the liver, anterior abdominal wall and the lung. Due to the short duration between the presentation, and as most common reported EHE metastatic cases occur in the bone, we raise up the possibility of primary EHE multi-centric lesions from the beginning rather than metastasis. Keywords: Epithelioid, Hemangioendothelioma, Multicentric |
