Abstract
Epithelioid hemangioendotheliomas (EHE) are uncommon and unpredictable vascular tumors that originate in skin, soft tissue, visceral organs, and bones. EHE occurring in the spine has been mostly reported as an osteolytic lesion. To the best of our knowledge, paravertebral EHE with sclerotic bone changes has not been reported in the literature. Here, we report a case of paravertebral EHE accompanied by adjacent sclerotic bone changes in the imaging findings on radiography, CT and magnetic resonance, as well as surgical and pathologic findings.
