We describe the clinical, radiologic, and pathologic features of a primary intracranial hemangioendothelioma arising in the clivus in a 38-year-old female, emphasizing the importance of including this rare entity in the differential diagnosis of tumors arising at the base of the skull. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a clival hemangioendothelioma. Aside from its unusual location, this case is also notable for its apparent rapid growth and mixed epithelioid-spindle cell morphology. Appropriate neuroimaging studies may offer crucial information, ensuring that this uncommon entity is included in the differential diagnosis of a clival mass.
我们描述了一名38岁女性斜坡原发性颅内血管内皮瘤的临床、放射学及病理学特征，强调在颅底肿瘤的鉴别诊断中纳入这一罕见实体的重要性。据我们所知，这是首例报道的斜坡血管内皮瘤病例。除了其不寻常的位置外，该病例还因其明显的快速生长及上皮样-梭形细胞混合形态而值得注意。恰当的神经影像学检查可能提供关键信息，确保这一罕见实体被纳入斜坡肿块的鉴别诊断中。
