hemangioendothelioma/headache

We report on a 16-year-old white male presenting with a 4-month history of syncopal episodes and occasional headaches. The CT and MRI studies revealed numerous lytic lesions of the skull base and cervical spine; subsequently, similar lesions were demonstrated in all areas of the skeleton, and CT

Masson's vegetant intravascular hemangioendothelioma has only been reported intracranially in 12 patients. The pathological diagnosis is important given its benign natural history. We report the 13th case in a woman who presented with headaches and dysphasia. A thorough literature review is

A 38-year-old obese woman, with a past medical history of cholecystectomy and dyslipidaemia, presented with acute occipital headache, vomiting and rotational vertigo which lasted 8 hours. On admission neurological examination was unremarkable, however general physical examination revealed

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is an uncommon vascular neoplasm. Its intracranial occurrence is rare, and the literature review revealed only 23 cases (14 adults and 9 children). To our knowledge, this is the first case of EHE arising in the infundibular-hypothalamic region. A 53-year-old

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare tumor of intermediate malignancy. We report a case of intracranial and intraorbitar EHE. A 3-year-old girl presented with a 3-month history of progressive left exophthalmia. Neuroradiologic imaging (CT scan and MRI) showed an intraorbitar process with

Intracranial epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (E-HE) is an extremely rare, vasoformative tumor with variable biological behavior. A huge E-HE confined to the upper side of the tentorium has not been documented previously. Recognizing E-HE as a specific vascular tumor is important, and complete tumor

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare, locally aggressive well-differentiated endothelial tumor, which frequently develops from the peripheral veins. Meningeal EHE has only been reported in four previous cases. Here we report the case of a 38-year-old female with EHE of the meninges and

Retiform hemangioendothelioma (RH) is an extremely rare low-grade angiosarcoma mainly involving the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Clinically patients often present with an asymptomatic slow-growing solitary nodular or plaque-like lesion. RH is characterized by frequent local recurrences but a very

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare and low-grade vascular tumor, which usually occurs in the soft tissue, liver, breast, lung and skeleton. Here we submit a case with EHE of the clival region. A 58-year-old woman was admitted with a medical history of 3 months headache and 1 month

BACKGROUND Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a unique tumor of soft tissues, primarily occurring in adults. It is characterized by the proliferation of epithelioid or histiocytoid endothelial cells. Its clinical course being close to that of hemangioma and conventional angiosarcoma, the term

OBJECTIVE This phase I clinical trial was designed to determine the maximum-tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicities of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor COL-3 in patients with refractory solid tumors. METHODS Thirty-five patients with different cancer types were enrolled. COL-3 doses

Angiosarcoma also called malignant hemangioendothelioma, caused by vascular endothelial cells or in the direction of vascular endothelial cell differertiation of mesenchymal malignant tumor, is a rare tumor found in clinical, can be in any place of the body, such as head and neck, skin and tissue,

We report 2 adults with a past history of radiation therapy to the head for malignancy (one with primary B-cell lymphoma confined to the skull and the other with multiple hemangioendotheliomas) who developed episodes consistent with migraine with and without aura. In addition to more typical
