    Author: Tamhankar AS, Vaidya A, Pai P.
    Journal: J Cancer Res Ther; 2015; 11(3):657. PubMed ID: 26458658.
    Abstract:
    Retiform hemangioendothelioma (RH) is low grade tumor of skin and subcutaneous tissue. It needs to be differentiated from angiosarcoma as RH has excellent prognosis. It is usually seen in young adults on extremities. Sometimes it may mimic benign conditions and can delay treatment. Surgery has been mainstay of its treatment with or without adjuvant radiation. We present first case of RH on face. This is only second case being treated with definitive chemoradiation. So it's important to distinguish RH from angiosarcoma due to treatment implications as well.
