Ovarian Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report
We present a case of an eight-month-old girl who was brought to the emergency department with bloody stools. An initial ultrasound reported a mass in the left iliac fossa that was further characterized by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a hypervascular ovarian tumor. Prior to surgical resection...

description | We present a case of an eight-month-old girl who was brought to the emergency department with bloody stools. An initial ultrasound reported a mass in the left iliac fossa that was further characterized by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a hypervascular ovarian tumor. Prior to surgical resection of the tumor, abdominal arteriography with selective embolization and vessel occlusion was performed. Pathology reported epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the left ovary. This condition has not been previously reported in girls. In this case report, we describe the ultrasound, MRI, and arteriographic findings with a histopathologic correlation of an adnexal tumor that is unknown in the pediatric female population until now. |
