ABSTRACT
Background:
Composite hemangioendothelioma (CHE) is a rare, locally aggressive neoplasm of intermediate malignant potential. It is composed of a mixture of vascular tumors with a predilection for the dermis and subcutis of the extremities. Case Description In this report, we describe a 41-year-old man who presented with a 2-month history of headache, dizziness, and intermittent seizures. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a hemorrhagic, multilobulated, and dural-based mass with extension into the calvarium. The mass measured 10.3 × 4.8 × 4 cm along the interhemispheric fissure and encased the superior sagittal sinus. Excision was performed, and histopathologic examination revealed a heterogeneous mixture of vascular components consisting of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, retiform hemangioendothelioma, and hemangioma. This is the first report of a primary intracranial CHE.Conclusion:
The spectrum of mesenchymal neoplasms within the cranium expands to encompass CHE.
