Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma Presenting as a Right Paratracheal Mass: A Case Report
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a low-grade malignant vascular neoplasm that can occur anywhere in the body. EHE has a low annual incidence (0.38/106) and prevalence (< 1/106), and primary mediastinal EHE is exceedingly rare. We report a case of EHE in a 53-year-old female which mani...

| Summary: | Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a low-grade malignant vascular neoplasm that can occur
anywhere in the body. EHE has a low annual incidence (0.38/106) and prevalence (< 1/106), and
primary mediastinal EHE is exceedingly rare. We report a case of EHE in a 53-year-old female which
manifested as an incidentally discovered mass in the right paratracheal region. In this report, authors
describe the pathological and radiological findings of primary mediastinal EHE invading the superior
vena cava in the right paratracheal area. |
