| Abstract | Background Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare malignant vascular neoplasm with increasing incidence. However, its clinical characteristics remain unclear due to its low incidence. This study aimed to investigate the features of EHE. Methods Patients with EHE treated at our institution between January 2000 and June 2018 were enrolled. Data including demographic characteristics, treatment patterns, pathological results, and prognosis were collected, and a retrospective database was constructed for analysis. Results The cohort comprised 33 patients with a mean age of 48.0 ± 16.0 years. Eighteen (54.5%) patients were asymptomatic. The laboratory tests were unremarkable except in five and two patients who had increased CA 125 and CA 19-9, respectively. Twenty-one patients underwent surgery, while 12 patients underwent only biopsy. The postoperative morbidity rate was 28.6% (6/21). The anatomical sites of the primary lesions varied. Immunohistochemical staining was positive for CD34 and CD31 in most patients. Twenty-six patients (78.8%) were followed up at a range of 1–201 months, and 6 patients died during this period. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year cumulative survival rates were 96.2%, 87.0%, and 75.3%, respectively. The patients who had metastases or only underwent biopsy showed significantly higher mortality. Conclusions EHE is a rare malignant vascular tumor that can occur in any site of the body. Surgery is the primary choice of treatment, and pathologic evaluation is the gold standard for diagnosis. Metastases and unresectability are associated with poor prognosis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
