Sumario: | Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a neoplasm originating mainly from vessels and has a mild proclivity for malignancy. This neoplasm mainly involves somatic soft tissue and retroperitoneum. Histological findings include a nodular arrangement of oval-to-spindle cells containing pale cytoplasm. Vascular spaces are in the form of slit-like channels in which red blood cells are evident. Here, we report the case of a two-year-old male who presented with Erb’s palsy and a mass lesion in the right humerus. Tissue biopsy features were compatible with KHE. |
