Concurrent epithelioid hemangioma and diffuse cavernous hemangioma in the rectum clinically mimicking a malignant tumor: a case report.
2021
Epithelioid hemangioma is a rare benign vascular tumor that consists of capillary-sized vessels lined by epithelioid endothelial cells. Diffuse cavernous hemangioma is a congenital benign vascular neoplasm consisting of increased dilated vessels. We report a case of epithelioid hemangioma and diffuse cavernous hemangioma that co-occurred in the rectum. To our knowledge, this is the first report in which two rare vascular lesions coexisted. Because both epithelioid hemangioma and diffuse cavernous hemangioma are often clinically confounded by malignant tumors, differentiating these benign lesions from other possible malignant tumors is significant.
