title: [Epithelioid hemangioma, a rare bone tumor].
abstract: A case of pathological hip fracture associated with an epithelioid hemangioma is reported. Epithelioid hemangioma is a benign tumor, rarely localized in a bone. When the tumor is found on the skeleton, it generally involves a long bone. X-ray does not permit the differenciation of epithelioid hemangioma from other, malignant, vascular tumors. Therefore, the diagnosis requires surgery. Although no consensus treatment guidelines exist, the curettage--filling is most often proposed.
