Résumé

Hemangioendothelioma is a rare tumor arising from the vascular endothelium of soft tissue, skin, bone, and viscera. The disease has an indolent course, with the potential for recurrence, and is often associated with multi-organ involvement. We present a rare case of subcutaneous tumor in the thigh, without systemic involvement in a middle-aged woman. The tumor was completely excised after ligation of the feeding vessels, and the histopathologic diagnosis was consistent with hemangioendothelioma. Regular follow-up is suggested due to the potential for recurrence.
