Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of skin and soft tissues: clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical study of 30 cases.
Am J Surg Pathol. 1997. 21(4): 363-74.
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of soft
tissues (EHE) represents a distinct entity with an unpredictable clinical
course. We analyzed the clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical features in a
series of 30 patients. Patient age range was 16-74 years (median 50); 18 of 30
patients were female. Eight tumors arose in the lower and two in the upper
extremities, seven on the trunk, five each in the head/ neck and
anogenital regions, two in the mediastinum, and one in the abdomen. Seventeen
neoplasms were located in deep soft tissues, nine were subcutaneous or
perifascial, and four were dermal; size ranged from 0.4 to 10 cm; in 11 cases
the tumor was > 5 cm. Tumors with an infiltrative growth pattern were more
common than entirely circumscribed lesions. The tumors were composed
histologically of short strands, cords, or small clusters of epithelioid,
round, to slightly spindled endothelial cells that formed at least
focally, intracellular lumina and were set in a frequently myxohyaline stroma.
Thirteen of 30 lesions showed angiocentric growth, which was occlusive in many
cases. Immunohistochemically, all cases tested were positive for at least one
endothelial marker (CD31, CD34, factor VIII, Ulex europaeus), six of 23 (26%)
were positive for cytokeratin, and five of 11 (45%)
were positive for alpha-smooth muscle actin. Median follow-up of 36
months (range 2-96) in 24 cases showed local recurrence in three cases and
systemic metastases in five cases (21%); four patients (17%) died of tumor. Although
more aggressive histologic features (striking nuclear atypia in eight cases,
numerous spindled cells in 10, more than two mitoses per 10 high-power
fields in nine, and small, more solid angiosarcomalike foci in four cases)
tended to be related to poor clinical outcome, there was no clear correlation.
Two metastasizing cases showed no histologically atypical features whatever. We
suggest that EHE of soft tissue is better regarded as a fully malignant,
rather than borderline, vascular neoplasm, albeit the prognosis is better
than in conventional angiosarcoma.

实际上,大家仔细看每张图上都能看见印戒样血管内皮细胞!!

上皮样血管内皮瘤多呈多结节镜下形态,本例呈弥漫性生长。需要标记CD31和Fli-1鉴别是否有血管内皮表型。F8一般是多抗,单一F8的结果难以评价。
细胞形态表现为纤维母/肌纤维母细胞形态。SMA阳性这么强,而MSA和Desmin均为阴性,提示是肌纤维母细胞表型。
理论上,血管内皮将不会表达SMA强阳性。所以,再做内皮标记的意义可能不大。
增加标记caldesmon。排除肌源性。
本例考虑为纤维母/肌纤维母细胞病变,需要仔细观察切片,鉴别:
1)结节性筋膜炎(本例图片中粘液样间质内有片区红细胞漏出现象);增生性筋膜炎/增生性肌炎;
2)低度恶性肌纤维母细胞肉瘤(属于中间性肿瘤);
3)假肉瘤性肌纤维母细胞增生性病变。
