Composite hemangioendothelioma of the forehead and right eye; a case report.

Abstract

Hemangioendothelioma includes several types of vascular neoplasms , as well as both benign and malignant growth.This study evaluated a case of a 78-year-old female diagnosed with composite hemangioendothelioma (CHE). This patient had an 18-month history of painless inflammatory lesions and erythema on the left forehead and right upper eyelid. The clinical and pathologic characteristics of the CHE were evaluated in the present study.The evidence of the coexistence of variable components of the CHE in our study emphasized the importance of distinctive morphology and biology, and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of other vascular lesions.
