Abstract

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma and epithelioid angiosarcoma are both rare malignancies of endothelial origin. Differentiation of these two diagnoses remains difficult due to their heterogeneous presentation and overlapping morphological features. Here we report a case of a 58-year-old female clinically presenting with primary hepatic vascular neoplasm. She was finally diagnosed with Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma (EHE) based on cytology sampling and core biopsy. The immunohistochemical (IHC) studies and morphological features of this case may be suggestive of a continuum with Epithelioid Angiosarcoma (EAS). Given the mixed findings exhibited, a plausible intermediate diagnostic entity may be proposed, and further studies are warranted to investigate this possible intermediate variant with optimal management and follow up.
