With the exception of leiomyomas, soft tissue tumors of the uterine corpus are not common. This is particularly true for vascular neoplasms, with the epithelioid hemangioendothelioma being a curiosity; not more than twenty-two cases of malignant hemangioendotheliomas have been reported in the literature so far, all of which were high-grade hemangioendotheliomas (hemangiosarcomas). We present herewith a unique case of low-grade epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the uterus in a pregnant woman aged 29 years. The clinical, histological, and immunohistochemical characteristics of this entity, together with its differential diagnosis, are discussed.
除平滑肌瘤外，子宫体的软组织肿瘤并不常见。血管性肿瘤尤其如此，上皮样血管内皮瘤是一种罕见病；迄今为止，文献中报道的恶性血管内皮瘤病例不超过22例，所有这些都是高级别血管内皮瘤（血管肉瘤）。我们在此报告一例29岁孕妇的子宫低级别上皮样血管内皮瘤的独特病例。本文讨论了该实体的临床、组织学和免疫组化特征及其鉴别诊断。
