We report the case of a 37-year-old patient with an epithelioid haemangioma arising from the third segment of the popliteal artery and the tibio-peroneal trunk. As far as we know this is the first description of this tumour originating in an artery of this order. One year after excision of the tumour mass and vascular reconstruction the patient has recovered and shows no evidence of recurrence. Clinical manifestation and morphological characteristics of this rare lesion are described in this article.
