title: Spindle cell hemangioendothelioma of the foot.
abstract: The author suggests an index of suspicion when dealing with recurrent tumors in the foot. Initially, a lesion was removed and pathologic diagnosis was lipoma. Repetitive recurrence lead to the diagnosis of spindle cell hemangioendothelioma. A relationship has been suggested between this lesion and low grade malignancies.
