Spindle and histiocytoid (epithelioid) hemangioendothelioma. Primary in lymph node

Am J Clin Pathol. 1986 Jun;85(6):731-5. doi: 10.1093/ajcp/85.6.731.

Abstract

A 52-year-old woman presented with a solid spindle cell primary tumor of the lymph node. On light microscopic examination, mitoses and cellular atypia were absent. Electron-microscopic studies showed endothelial cell differentiation. Intracytoplasmic localization of Factor VIII-related antigen was demonstrated by the immunoperoxidase method, which confirmed the endothelial origin of the tumor. Seven-and-a-half years after the resection of this tumor, the patient is alive with no evidence of disease.
