Abstract:
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare case of a tumor with different clinical behaviors and a difficult anatomopathological diagnosis. The diagnosis of EHE is usually confirmed by postoperative histopathologic examination. Actually, it is a challenge to put a correct diagnosis and to propose aggressive treatment. We report a case of an EHE of the left lower limb discovered in a 53-year-old claudicant woman. Surgical resection, arterial, and venous bypass were performed. The histology demonstrated EHE with a low mitotic index, emerging for the femoral vein.

Veins of Lower Limbs
Formed by the union of the medial and lateral plantar veins, the posterior tibial vein, rising through the calf muscle, assimilates the fibular vein. The anterior tibial vein, a superior extension of the foot's dorsalis pedis vein, merges with the posterior tibial vein at the...

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above...
