Multiple Epithelioid Hemangiomas with Orbital Involvement

Abstract EN

Epithelioid hemangioma, also known as angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia, is a cutaneous angioproliferative lesion that follows a benign clinical course.

It is most frequently localized in the skin of the head and neck region; although it may sometimes arise deeper in soft tissues, orbital involvement is rare.

Here we describe a patient who developed multiple epithelioid hemangiomas, including an intraorbital lesion.

The histopathological parallels with other reactive and neoplastic lesions as well as therapeutic options are discussed.
