Abstract

Retiform hemangioendothelioma is recently defined, a distinctive variant of low-grade angiosarcoma of the skin. It has a potential of high local recurrence but low distant metastasis. Because there have been no tumor-related deaths and only two case of regional lymph node metastasis; wide surgical excision is the most suggested treatment method. We document a case of retiform hemangioendothelioma that is originated from the capillary malformation of the left arm skin of an 8-year-old girl. Our case is discussed in the background of previously reported cases concerning retiform hemangioendothelioma in English-written literature. As far we know this is the first case of the retiform hemangioendothelioma originating from the capillary malformation and she is the youngest case.
