Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma And Spindle Cell Hemangioendothelioma (Report of Two Case)

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma and spindle cell hemangioendothelioma are uncommon vascular neoplasms which are considered to be vascular proliferations of intermediate malignant potential. Here we report a case of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma and a case of spindle cell hemangioendothelioma with typical pathological features.
