Abstract

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare primary vascular tumour, usually malignant. We present the case of a 60-year-old woman who presented with hoarseness of voice and a persistent cough. During evaluation, a left supraclavicular mass was discovered. Initial assessments revealed a 30-mm left supraclavicular mass. Computed tomography angiogram and venogram confirmed an enhancing mass arising directly from the proximal left subclavian vein. After discussion in the joint multidisciplinary team, it was decided to resect the tumour owing to its malignant potential. Histopathology after resection confirmed a completely excised EHE. EHE is a rare vascular sarcoma requiring a multidisciplinary approach. Its main challenge is its unpredictable behaviour.
