Pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma (PMH) is a rare tumor of vascular origin with intermediate malignant potential which commonly presents as a subcutaneous and soft-tissue mass with or without concurrent bone involvement. However, PMH presenting as primary multifocal bone lesions is rare. Histomorphologically, it mimicks other epithelioid tumors and cytokeratin expression in PMH can prompt an erroneous diagnosis of metastatic carcinoma, especially in an elderly patient. Diligent histopathological examination and judicious immunohistochemistry panel can guide to the correct diagnosis. Due to its rarity, the optimal therapeutic strategy has not been established till date. We present a rare case of PMH of primary bone with multifocal bony disease in a 23-year-old male who presented with severe bone pains. The patient has been managed with four weekly denosumab, and the disease is stable with symptomatic relief after 6 months.
假肌源性血管内皮瘤(PMH)是一种罕见的血管源性肿瘤,具有中等恶性潜能,通常表现为伴有或不伴有并发骨受累的皮下和软组织肿块。然而,PMH 作为原发性多发性骨病变较为罕见。组织形态学上,它类似于其他上皮样肿瘤,PMH 中的细胞角蛋白表达可能导致转移性癌的错误诊断,尤其是在老年患者中。仔细的组织病理学检查和明智的免疫组织化学组可以指导正确的诊断。由于其罕见性,迄今为止尚未建立最佳的治疗策略。我们报告了一例罕见的 23 岁男性原发性骨多灶性骨病 PMH 病例,该患者表现为严重骨痛。该患者接受了每周 4 次地舒单抗治疗,6 个月后症状缓解,疾病稳定。
