Abstract
Epithelioid hemangioma of bone is a rare type of angiomatous tumor. We report a documented case of epithelioid hemangioma occurring in the distal femur of a 35-year-old man. The clinical, radiographic, MR imaging and histologic findings of the tumor are described. Radiographs showed a well-defined expanding, osteolytic lesion in the diaphysis of the femur. MR imaging showed the lesion to have low signal intensity on T1-weighted images and intermediate signal intensity on T2-weighted images. Grossly the lesion was multiloculated with a dark brown, jelly-like content. To characterize the imaging appearances of epithelioid hemangioma, we reviewed the available literature on the subject.
