Epithelioid hemangioma (EH) is an uncommon benign vascular lesion, also known as angioblastic lymphoid (or angiolymphoid) hyperplasia with eosinophilia, characterized by an unclear etiopathogenesis. It usually affects young to middle-aged adults and develops in the head and neck region, as painless cutaneous or subcutaneous reddish papules or nodules. Large vessels involvement is extremely rare, and to date only two cases affecting the brachial artery have been cited in literature. In this report we present a further case of EH of the brachial artery and review the pertinent literature.
上皮样血管瘤（EH）是一种罕见的良性血管病变，也称为伴有嗜酸性粒细胞增多的成血管细胞性淋巴样（或血管淋巴样）增生，其病因发病机制尚不清楚。它通常影响年轻至中年成年人，好发于头颈部，表现为无痛性皮肤或皮下红色丘疹或结节。累及大血管极为罕见，迄今为止，文献中仅报道过两例累及肱动脉的病例。在本报告中，我们介绍了另一例肱动脉上皮样血管瘤病例，并复习相关文献。
