Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the sternum

Abstract: Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare vascular tumor composed of dendritic and endothelial cells, and accounts for less than 1% of all vascular tumors. The tumor may arise from any location in the body, but it has a predilection for veins of the extremities, the liver, bone, and skin. Herein, we report a case of a 43-year-old man who presented with a chest mass accompanied by chest pain.

“…Due to the fact that it is so uncommon, the majority of the research that has been published so far consists of case reports, with a few retrospective descriptive case series thrown in for good measure. The purpose of these case series is to better characterize the clinical, pathologic, and molecular characteristics, as well as to derive insight into treatment approaches [10,11]. Currently, no comprehensive study exists on the demographic characteristics and prognostic factors of the overall survival of EHE.…”

“…In this study, 14 males (41.2%) and 20 females (58.8%) were included, with a median age of 46.6 years. According to previous studies, EHE is extremely rare in childhood and adolescence [7,16]. Moreover, there is only one patient under adulthood in our research group, a 16-year-old patient.…”

“…Other symptoms may include ascites, asthenia, fatigue, anorexia, nausea, vomiting and weight loss. Multiple manifestations are common and 87.3% of HEHE cases in the largest published case series were characterized by multiple lesions ( 4 ). Single-lesion types account for only 13 to 18% of all cases ( 3 ).…”
