Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (also known as "Infantile kaposiform hemangioendothelioma" [3]) is an uncommon vascular tumor, first described by Niedt, Greco, et al. (Hemangioma with Kaposi's sarcoma-like features: report of two cases.(Niedt GW, Greco MA, Wieczorek R, Blanc WA, Knowles DM 2nd. that affects infants and young children, with rare ...
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare tumor, first characterized by Sharon Weiss and Franz Enzinger in 1982 [1] that both clinically and histologically is intermediate between angiosarcoma and hemangioma. However, a distinct, disease-defining genetic alteration recently described for EHE indicates that it is an entirely separate ...

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare cancer that occurs mostly in people ages 30 to 50, according to the National Cancer Institute. Worldwide, only one in one million people are diagnosed ...
Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma. Kaposiform hemangioendotheliomas (KHEs) are borderline, locally destructive vascular tumors. [4] They are named after their resemblance to the lesions of Kaposi's sarcoma. [13] KHEs are described as locally destructive because they can infiltrate underlying muscle and fat. [4]
Kasabach–Merritt syndrome is usually caused by a hemangioendothelioma or other vascular tumor, often present at birth. [6] [7] Although these tumors are relatively common, they only rarely cause Kasabach–Merritt syndrome. [citation needed]
Differential diagnosis includes vascular malformation, angioma, pyogenic granuloma, angiosarcoma, epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, Kaposi’s sarcoma, and other more rare vascular tumors. Three forms of intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia exist: the primary or pure form, the secondary or mixed form, and the extravascular form.
Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare vascular neoplasm that is locally aggressive but without metastatic potential. It occurs particularly in the skin, deep soft tissue, retroperitoneum, mediastinum, and rarely in bone. Although lesions occur solitary, they often involve large areas of the body, such as the head/neck region (40% ...
