Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma of Cavernous Sinus

چکیده
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma was coined by Enzinger and Weiss in 1880 to define an intermediate group of vascular neoplasm.1 The tumor is composed of epithelioid or histiocytoid endothelial cells. It commonly occurs in lungs, liver, bone, and presents as a soft tissue mass. Intracranial occurrences are very rare and cavernous sinus is an unusual site. To the best of our knowledge, we found only one reported case in literature of its occurrence in cavernous sinus.2
