Malignant vascular lesions involving the gastrointestinal tract include but are not limited to, angiosarcoma, epithelioid and/or spindle cell hemangioendothelioma, and Kaposi sarcoma. Most epithelioid angiosarcomas (EASs) are reported in adult patients, with a male predominance. Epithelioid angiosarcomas arising in the gastrointestinal tract are rare, particularly in pediatric patients. We report a 3-year-old female patient presented by a Meckel’s diverticulum. Surgical excision revealed an epithelioid angiosarcoma of the small intestine. She received no additional chemotherapy or radiation after surgery as the patient’s parents refused. She was followed annually by imaging and was disease-free seven years after surgery.
Keywords: Epithelioid angiosarcoma, Meckel’s diverticulum, Neoplasia, Pediatric
