Pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma secondary to fibrous dysplasia of the left lower extremity in a 14-year-old female: a case report

Abstract

Pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma is a rare endothelial neoplasm which often mimics myoid and epithelioid tumors morphologically. For the diagnosis, the immunostaining is very important but not decisive and enough. Analysis based on any single factor or incomplete information may easily lead to arbitrary conclusion. Clinical information including age, gender, tumor location, disease course, and recurrence is important for appropriate diagnosis, and full understanding of the tumor is indispensable.
