Abstract
Epithelioid hemangioendotheliomas (EHEs) are known to have a variable malignant potential. EHEs are rarely seen in the hand and there is no consensus about their management. The options include excision, excision followed by adjuvant radiotherapy and amputation. In this paper, we report a case of EHE of a fnger that was treated by excision. Although the tumor had ill-defned borders and there was histological evidence of tumor extension to all resection margins, no local recurrence or metastasis were noted during the 3 years of followup. The literature is reviewed and an argument is made that EHEs of the hand may have a more benign behavior compared with EHEs of the lower limbs and viscera.
