A Case Report of Prostatic and Peritoneal Hemangioendothelioma

Abstract

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare endothelial neoplasm that is uncommonly described in the urinary system. To date, only one case has been described as originating from the prostate. We report a second case of prostatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, this one in a 71-year-old man. Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma was found on transurethral resection of the prostate with discovery of extensive peritoneal dissemination.
