description Pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma (PHE) also known as epithelioid sarcoma-like hemangioendothelioma (ES-H) is a vascular lesion of intermediate grade biologically behaving between benign hemangioma and malignant angiosarcoma. We present a 35-year-old male with an unremarkable medical history, who was referred to a sarcoma clinic complaining of right heel pain with equinus deformity and a mass in his right lower limb for 6 months. Biopsy was performed and reported as Pseudomyogenic Hemangioendothelioma. The patient was started on pazopanib with a favorable clinical and radiological response. Long-term follow-up is still needed, however further studies are vital to clarify the role of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor therapy.
