Retiform hemangioendothelioma (RH) is a distinct entity in the spectrum of vascular tumors with a high local recurrence rate. It is considered a low-grade, well-differentiated cutaneous angiosarcoma with low metastatic potential. We report here for the first time a case of medial canthus recurrent RH. It may be helpful in our practice to include RH as a differential diagnosis of eyelid lesions. It is noteworthy that the progressive course and recurrence tendency of RH might be misdiagnosed as angiosarcoma or basal cell carcinoma (BCC), if not expected and carefully evaluated by the pathologist.
网状血管内皮瘤（RH）是血管肿瘤谱系中的一种独特类型，局部复发率高。它被认为是一种低级别、高分化的皮肤血管肉瘤，转移潜能低。我们在此首次报告一例内眦复发性RH。将RH纳入眼睑病变的鉴别诊断可能对我们的临床实践有所帮助。值得注意的是，如果病理学家没有预期到并仔细评估，RH的进展过程和复发倾向可能会被误诊为血管肉瘤或基底细胞癌（BCC）。
