Intraneural brachial plexus epitheloid hemangioendothliomas: a case report and literatures review

Abstract

Abstract: Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular tumor that occurs in the liver, lungs, bones, head and neck and soft tissues mostly. Epitheloid hemangioendothliomas occurring in brachial plexus bundle membrane has not been reported in both the literatures. We reported here 1 case of epitheloid hemangioendothliomas occurring in brachial plexus bundle and reviewed the relevant literatures on clinical manifestation, imaging characteristics, pathology, treatment and prognosis.

Key words: Epitheloid hemangioendothliomas, Brachial plexus, Nerve sheath tumors

CLC Number:
