Epithelioid hemangioma occurring in the radial styloid of a 17-year-old boy—an unusual presentation of an uncommon neoplasm

Abstract Presented is a case of epithelioid hemangioma (EH) of bone occurring in the radial styloid of a 17-year-old boy. EH is a benign vascular tumor whose name and classification have changed over the years, adding potential confusion to an already existing diagnostic challenge. Overlapping imagi...

Description
Summary:Abstract Presented is a case of epithelioid hemangioma (EH) of bone occurring in the radial styloid of a 17-year-old boy. EH is a benign vascular tumor whose name and classification have changed over the years, adding potential confusion to an already existing diagnostic challenge. Overlapping imaging and histopathologic features with malignant vascular neoplasms and occasional aggressive clinical features have resulted in misdiagnoses and inappropriate treatment. The goal of this case report is to raise awareness of EH and related vascular neoplasms.
