Sumario:Epithelioid hemangioendotheliomas are rare vascular tumors, often arising from medium to large veins in the extremities. Symptoms of these tumors vary depending upon location.

We present a case of a 17-year-old male presenting with compressive symptoms of the left upper extremity who was found to have a large epithelioid hemangioendothelioma encasing the left brachiocephalic vein.
