Abstract
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare case of a tumor with different clinical behaviors and a difficult anatomopathological diagnosis. The diagnosis of EHE is usually confirmed by postoperative histopathologic examination. Actually, it is a challenge to put a correct diagnosis and to propose aggressive treatment. We report a case of an EHE of the left lower limb discovered in a 53-year-old claudicant woman. Surgical resection, arterial, and venous bypass were performed. The histology demonstrated EHE with a low mitotic index, emerging for the femoral vein.
