ABSTRACT
Pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma (PHE) is a rare
seen neoplasm with vascular origin mostly seen on the extremities. Up
to date, the terminology which represents PHE has been a subject to
debate. According to the World Health Organization, PHE is classified
among the soft tissue tumors. PHE is mostly seen in soft tissue planes
and the distal lower extremities are the most affected location of the
body. Localization of this tumor on the head and neck region is uncommon.
PHE, being a sarcoma does not favor lymphogenic metastasis.
As far as we are concerned this is the first described case of PHE
of the external ear and retro auricular sulcus. In this paper the management
of this case and the current treatment options of PHE are discussed.
Keywords: Head and neck neoplasms; neoplasms; connective and soft tissue; soft tissue neoplasms
ÖZET
Psödomiyojenik hemanjiyoendotelyoma (PHE), daha çok ekstremitelerde
görülen, vasküler kökenli nadir bir neoplazmdır.
Günümüze kadar PHE ile ilgili terminoloji literatürde çok defa
tartışılmıştır. Dünya Sağlık Örgütüne göre PHE, yumuşak doku tümörleri
başlığı altında incelenmektedir. PHE genellikle yumuşak doku
planlarında izlenmekle birlikte alt ekstremite distal kısımları PHE’nin
en çok rastlandığı lokalizasyonu oluşturmaktadır. Baş-boyun bölgesinde
lokalize PHE olguları oldukça nadirdir. PHE bir sarkom olması
nedeniyle lenfatik metastazı sık yapmamaktadır. Mevcut literatür
incelendiğinde, sunduğumuz vakanın, dış kulak ve retroauriküler
sulkusa yerleşmiş, lenfatik metastaz ile birlikte karşımıza çıkan atipik
bir PHE vakası olduğu görülmüştür. Bu yazıda, vakanın yönetimi ile
birlikte PHE’nin güncel tedavi seçenekleri tartışılmıştır.
