摘要
A 23-year-old healthy male patient presented with an absence seizure for the first
time. A contrast-enhanced brain computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging
revealed a tumor with perifocal edema in the superior part of the left frontal lobe. The tumor
was treated with a total resection via stereotactic craniotomy. The pathologic report documented
spindle cell hemangioendothelioma of the brain. Spindle cell hemangioendothelioma
is a rare vascular tumor featured by a histologic manifestation intermediate between benign
hemangioma and malignant angiosarcoma. It is hoped that our report will contribute to further
understanding of the neuropathology and natural history of this unusual tumor.
