Key result
Retiform hemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular tumor that can present atypically, such as with mediastinal involvement, and is characterized histologically by arborizing vascular spaces lined by hobnail endothelial cells.
Why the study?
Retiform hemangioendothelioma is an extremely rare vascular tumor that can resemble Dabska tumor or well-differentiated angiosarcoma, making accurate diagnosis on core biopsy challenging.
Case Report (n=3)
No
Retiform hemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular tumor that can present atypically, including with cardiac compromise, and requires careful histological differentiation from angiosarcoma.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Alerts clinicians to pursue histological differentiation from angiosarcoma in cardiac vascular tumors; extends sparse case data but leaves management questions open.
Chundriger et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Retiform hemangioendothelioma (n=3). Retiform hemangioendothelioma was evaluated on Histological diagnosis and clinical outcome. Retiform hemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular tumor that can present atypically, such as with mediastinal involvement, and is characterized histologically by arborizing vascular spaces lined by hobnail endothelial cells.
