(hē-man'jē-ō-en'dō-thē'lē-ō'mă),
A neoplasm derived from blood vessels, characterized by numerous prominent endothelial cells that occur singly, in aggregates, and as the lining of congeries of vascular tubes or channels; in the elderly, may be malignant (angiosarcoma or hemangiosarcoma), but in children are benign and probably represent a growing stage of capillary hemangioma. Locally invasive but only rarely metastasize.
[hemangio- + endothelium + G. -oma, tumor]

The clinical differential diagnosis of subcutaneous LCH includes a wide variety of subcutaneous pathologies, including but not limited to vascular malformation, Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma, and infantile hemangioma.
Vascular malformations include slow-flow malformations (with venous, capillary and/or lymphatic components) and fast-flow malformations (with arterial components); while vascular neoplasms undergo mitosis and include such lesions as infantile hemangioma, congenital hemangioma, kaposiform hemangioendothelioma, tufted angioma, hemangiopericytoma, and angiosarcoma [2].
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare vascular neoplasm that occurs more often in women than men and usually arises within the liver, but can also present within other tissues including lung, bone, or peritoneum [1].
