Journal Title: Journal of Neurological Sciences-Turkish - Year 2006, Vol 23, Issue 3
Abstract
Epithelioid haemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular tumor that presents histological features and biological behavior of low-grade malignancy. The authors report a case of malignant sellar-parasellar tumor. 36-year-old female, who had a history of head trauma 16 years before, presented with mild headache, and diplopia, 10 mouths later she presented Rapidly progressive ophthalmologic, ptosis and right amaurosis. CT-scan reveals an intra- or suprasellar mass with non-specific features, with calcifications and bone destruction. She underwent transcraneal partial resection of a suprasellar tumor. This lesion was histological diagnosed as epithelioid haemangioendothelioma that showed papillary endothelial hyperplasia. Immunohistochemically the neoplasm displayed striking positivity for CD31, CD34, EVGF, EVGF-RII and vimentin. The pathogenesis, correlation of histopathologic, radiology, and management of epithelioid hemagioepithelioma are reviewed. EVGF and it receptor can be useful of predictor behavior.
