Haemangioendothelioma in an infant's wrist.
A rare case of an epitheloid haemangioendothelioma presenting as an aggressive soft tissue mass in the wrist of an infant is presented. The management of the lesion presents particular difficulties because of its diffuse involvement of surrounding muscles, tendons and neurovascular bundle and the importance of preserving hand function. The epitheloid haemangioendothelioma rarely occurs extravascularly with less than 15 such cases reported in the literature.
