摘要
Objective and importance: Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare vascular tumor that presents histological features and biological behavior of low-grade malignancy. The authors report a case of malignant intracranial EHE, in which surgical excisions and additional immuno-chemotherapy were ineffective. Emphasis is placed on the histological features of this rare tumor and its potential for malignancy.
