Multiple lower extremity and penile spindle cell hemangioendotheliomas.
Spindle cell hemangioendothelioma (SCH) is a rare vascular neoplasm characterized by cavernous spaces, thrombi, phleboliths, and spindle cells. The lesions may arise at sites of vascular injury. We describe a 38-year-old man with multiple subcutaneous and penile SCHs. Patients with SCH should be screened for Maffucci's syndrome.
