Multifocal lower limb hemangioendothelioma in a young female: a case report and review of the literature.

ABSTRACT

A 26-year-old female presented with pain and swelling of distal thigh and distal leg. She was diagnosed with multifocal epitheloid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) and was successfully treated with wide resection of femoral and tibial lesions followed by their reconstruction using vascularised fibular graft and local bone grafting. One year into follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic with full Range Of Motion (ROM) and full weight bearing walking. This case illustrates a unique multifocal presentation of hemangioendothelioma and early surgical intervention leading to complete recovery, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and intervention to help improve prognosis and quality of life of the patient.
