ABSTRACT

Epithelioid haemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular tumor, described for the first time in 1975 by Dail and Liebow as an aggressive bronchoalveolar cell carcinoma. It represents 1% of all vascular tumours, due to its heterogeneous presentation, it is often misdiagnosed and not suitably treated. The etiology is still a dilemma. Most of the times it affects lung, liver and bones, although this kind of tumor may involve the head and neck area, breast, lymph nodes, mediastinum, brain and meninges, the spine, skin, abdomen and many other sites. Mesentery involvement is very rare. We report a case of 22-year old female student, who presented with recurrent abdominal pain of four month duration and one month duration of abdominal swelling that was later histopathological diagnosed to be epithelioid haemangioendothelioma.

KEYWORDS

Epithelioid haemangioendothelioma, mesentery, young female student.
