Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a neoplasm originating mainly from vessels and has a mild proclivity for malignancy. This neoplasm mainly involves somatic soft tissue and retroperitoneum. Histological findings include a nodular arrangement of oval-to-spindle cells containing pale cytoplasm. Vascular spaces are in the form of slit-like channels in which red blood cells are evident. Here, we report the case of a two-year-old male who presented with Erb's palsy and a mass lesion in the right humerus. Tissue biopsy features were compatible with KHE.
卡波西样血管内皮瘤（KHE）是一种主要起源于血管的肿瘤，具有轻度恶变倾向。该肿瘤主要累及体壁软组织和腹膜后。组织学表现为椭圆形至梭形细胞呈结节状排列，胞质淡染。血管腔隙呈裂隙样通道，可见红细胞。在此，我们报告一例两岁男性患儿，其表现为臂丛神经麻痹及右肱骨肿块。组织活检特征符合KHE。
