CAMTA1 immunostaining is not useful in differentiating epithelioid hemangioendothelioma from its potential mimickers.
OBJECTIVE Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare member of vascular tumors of intermediate malignancy. Recently, presence of t(1;3) translocation and WWTR1/CAMTA1 gene fusion, which enhances CAMTA1 expression, are found to be specific to this tumor. We investigated the CAMTA1 immune expression profile of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma and its potential mimickers using a commercially avail...
متن کاملIntracranial epithelioid hemangioendothelioma causing subacute loss of vision.
A 37-year-old woman presented with left eye pain, headaches, and vision loss. MRI showed a left sphenoid mass, with optic nerve compression and proptosis (figure 1). The left eye had minimal reactivity to light, scleral erythema, and proptosis. A metastatic lesion or a lymphoma was suspected; however, pathology showed an epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (figure 2). There was no extracranial dis...
متن کامل18F-FDG PET/CT in pleural epithelioid hemangioendothelioma
Pleural epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare malignancy of vascular-endothelial origin with non-specific symptoms and an unpredictable outcome. Diagnosis of this condition by imaging modalities is challenging, and no standard therapeutic approaches have been established in this regard. In this paper, we described the case of a patient with a low-grade fever, coughing and chest pain ...
متن کاملDiagnostic utility of FOSB immunohistochemistry in pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma and its histological mimics
BACKGROUND Pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma (PHE) is an unusual vascular tumor of intermediate malignancy that rarely metastasizes and tends to arise in the lower limbs of young adults and children. Histologically, PHE shows fascicular proliferation of eosinophilic spindle cells and/or epithelioid cells showing "pseudomyogenic" morphology. Immunohistochemically, PHE is usually positive for v...
متن کاملHepatic Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma with Cecal Metastasis in a Natural Course: A Case Report
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare vascular tumor of low malignant potential that occurs mostly in soft tissue. So far, only two cases of EHE involving the intestine have been recorded. Here, we describe a rare case of cecal EHE due to a subsequent metastasis from the primary liver tumor three years after initial diagnosis. A 74year-old man had sudden onset of epigastralgia for 24...
