    Abstract:
    Epithelioid hemangioma of bone is a rare benign vascular lesion. Since its first description by Rosai in 1979 about thirty cases have been reported. We report two new cases diagnosed in patients aged 21 and 7 years. Both patients had multiple lesions on the legs. Bone pain was the main symptom. Routine laboratories studies were unremarkable. Bon radiographs showed an expansive process of the bone. Histological and immunochemical features were typical of epithelioid hemangioma of the bone. Treatment consisted in above knee amputation for the first patient and therapeutic abstention for the second. Both patients are alive without progressive local disease or metastasis.
