Abstract

Hemangioendothelioma is a recently described uncommon vascular neoplasm, characterized by epithelioid tumor cells and borderline biologic behavior. Its histological features and clinical behavior are intermediate between those of hemangioma and angiosarcoma. Its four principal sites of occurrence are the soft tissue, liver, lung and bone. Its intracranial occurrence is extreamly rare. We report a case of primary cerebral hemangioendothelioma in a 29-year-old male patient
