Abstract

Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma of the Lumbar Spine

A 25-year-old man was referred for irradiation of a vertebral Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) with a 6-month history of non systematized lombo-sciatic pain. There was no history of direct or indirect trauma or overexertion. At presentation the patient had severe back pain and difficulty walking. A neurological examination revealed percussion pain over the lumbar spine and cauda equina syndrome with perineal sensory symptoms and weakness of the muscles of the lower legs.
