ABSTRACT
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a relatively rare and moderately aggressive type of vascular tumor. We describe a case of EHE that presented in a 24-year-old woman as a palpable nodule in the left cervical area. Radiological examinations and fine-needle aspiration cytology led to a preliminary diagnosis of metastatic lymphadenopathy with an unknown primary site. However, during surgery, we determined that the nodule was an intra-vascular tumor arising from the left internal jugular vein. The histopathological examination revealed cords of epithelioid endothelial cells distributed in a hyaline stroma, compatible with a diagnosis of EHE.
