Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma of the Upper Mediastinum:Report of a Case].

A 81-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for neck discomfort. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed a tumor in the upper mediastinum. Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) showed the mild accumulation in the tumor. Percutaneous biopsy was performed and epithelioid hemangioendothelioma was suspected, and the surgical treatment was performed. The histological study showed polygonal and irregular cells with nuclear atypia in myxoma-like substrate compatible with epithelioid hemangioendothelioma.
