Retiform hemangioendothelioma is considered as a low grade angiosarcoma, commonly seen in 2(nd)-4(th) decade of life. The youngest patient reported is of 9 years of age. A 9-year-old boy was presented with an asymptomatic red patch on the chest since 1 year. There was an erythematous patch with nodule of about 5 mm near the distal margin. Biopsy from the nodule revealed numerous thin-walled branching vessels in dermis resembling rete testis, suggestive of retiform hemangioendothelioma. We, hereby, report this case for its rarity and uncommon clinical presentation in childhood period.
网状血管内皮瘤被认为是一种低级别血管肉瘤,常见于20至40岁人群。有报道的最年轻患者为9岁。一名9岁男孩自1年前起胸部出现无症状红色斑块。在远端边缘附近有一个约5毫米的红斑结节。对该结节进行活检发现真皮内有许多薄壁分支血管,类似睾丸网,提示为网状血管内皮瘤。我们特此报告该病例,因其在儿童期罕见且临床表现不常见。
