Epithelioid Hemangioma Clinical Trial
Official title:
Epithelioid Hemangioma of Bone And Soft Tissue: a Benign Tumor With Metastatic Potential
The controversy surrounding epithelioid hemangioma diagnosis stems from its somewhat
aggressive clinical characteristics, including multifocal presentation and occasional lymph
node involvement.
The investigators reviewed the clinicopathologic and radiologic characteristics of bone and
soft tissue epithelioid hemangioma in patients treated at our institution with available
tissue for molecular testing.
The hypothesis is that epithelioid hemangioma may present with multifocal involvement and
rare loco-regional lymph node metastasis, but it remains a benign tumor with excellent
prognosis.
The investigators retrospectively reviewed patients treated for epithelioid hemangioma of
the bone and soft tissue in a single insitution. The purpose of this study is to evaluate
the pathological, clinical, and radiological characteristics of epithelioid hemangioma
arising within bone and soft tissue, in the first cohort of cases where the definitive
diagnosis is supplemented by molecular techniques.
The hypothesis is that the improved knowledge regarding this rare entity can more
definitively elucidate the benign biology of epithelioid hemangioma.
