Résumé
We describe herein the inaugural manifestations, the radiological and histological diagnosis criteria for and the outcome of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE). Most of EHE (90%) display a specific reciprocal chromosomic translocation t(1;3)(p36;q23–25), which is associated with the synthesis of fusion protein WWTR1/CAMTA1. EHE are low-grade vascular sarcomas. EHE could be initially localized or multifocal. At localized stage, EHE are best treated with focal treatments. At multifocal stage, the upfront strategy is watchful follow-up. Some multifocal EHE display very indolent course with spontaneous stable disease for years or decades. In case of progressive multifocal EHE, there is no consensual treatment. Diagnostic and clinical management of EHE requires interdisciplinary expertise from labeled centers.
