Abstract:
Epithelioid hemangioma of bone is a rare vascular neoplasm with a ubiquitous distribution. To date, up to 25% epithelioid hemangioma of bone presents synchronous bone lesions. We report a unique case of epithelioid hemangioma with multifocal metachronous bone lesions without any fatal outcome observed after a long period. Importantly, a strong nuclear expression of FOSB antibody was detected by immunohistochemical analysis. In this case, the pathologic and radiologic findings are also described. We suggest that epithelioid hemangioma can present multifocal metachronous bone lesions without producing a fatal outcome.

Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
