ABSTRACT

Epithelioid sarcoma-like hemangioendothelioma (eslh) is an extremely rare recently described tumor that affects soft tissue on lower extremities, mainly young adult men. It is considered of borderline malignancy with a high rate of recurrence, low metastasis and commonly confused with epithelioid sarcoma. The immunohistochemistry is necessary for diagnosis. In this case report we present an eslh of big size in a 68 years old male patient with multifocal disease on scalp.
