Abstract:
Epithelioid hemangioma is a benign vascular neoplasm with a characteristic histological and immunohistochemical pattern, characterized by a lymphocytic inflammatory infiltrate with admixed eosinophils and FOS‑B expression. The correct diagnosis is of particular relevance, since malignant vascular tumors with differentiated epithelioid cells can also be considered in the differential diagnosis. We present a patient with multiple epithelioid hemangiomas of the scalp accompanied by severe pain and itching. The long history of multiple therapeutic attempts illustrates the limited success of currently available treatment options.
