An Epithelioid Hemangioma Camouflaged As Radial Aneurysm

Port J Card Thorac Vasc Surg. 2023 Apr 4;30(1):61-63. doi: 10.48729/pjctvs.236.

Abstract

Epithelioid hemangioma (EH) is an uncommon benign vascular lesion usually present as subcutaneous nodules in the head and neck area. Sometimes, these lesions can occur in the peripheral arteries, and when they do, they can be mistaken for aneurysmal dilatations of that respective vessel. We report a case of a 43-year-old male who underwent surgical recession of a radial aneurysm, which after anatomopathological examination, revealed an EH.

Keywords: Epithelioid hemangioma; radial aneurysm; radial artery.
