A case of spindle cell haemangioendothelioma.
Spindle cell haemangioendothelioma (SCH) is a low grade, slowly progressive angiosarcoma of multifocal nature with local recurrences being common. It is histologically marked by cavernous blood spaces and a spindle cell stroma. Its importance lies in recognising its relatively benign nature and differentiating it from the ominous Kaposi's sarcoma. Our case reiterates the characteristics of this recently described disease, probably the first reported from India.
