Epithelioid hemangioendotheliomas are rare vascular tumors, often arising from medium to large veins in the extremities. Symptoms of these tumors vary depending upon location. Rarely, tumors may arise in chest and involve large vessels in the mediastinum. We present a case of a 17-year-old male presenting with compressive symptoms of the left upper extremity who was found to have a large epithelioid hemangioendothelioma encasing the left brachiocephalic vein.
上皮样血管内皮瘤是一种罕见的血管肿瘤,通常起源于四肢的中到大静脉。这些肿瘤的症状因位置而异。很少有肿瘤会出现在胸部并累及纵隔内的大血管。我们报告一例17岁男性患者,因左上肢受压症状就诊,发现有一个巨大的上皮样血管内皮瘤包裹左头臂静脉。
