    Author: Alvarez Sánchez JA, Fernández Lobato R, Coba Ceballos J, Fradejas López JM, Marín Lucas J, Moreno Azcoita M.

    Abstract:
    Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a unique tumor of adult life which is characterized by epithelioid or histiocytoid endothelial cells. These tumors are rare, and developed preferentially in the dermis and subcutaneous tissues of the distal extremities. They grow in a slowly progressive fashion, have a borderline biological behavior, and a good response to surgical treatment. The authors present a 63-years-old woman with an epithelioid hemangioendothelioma localized in small intestine. The patient had a history of abdominal pain and recurrent rectal bleeding being surgically treated.
