| Sumario: | Herein, we describe the case of a 20-year-old woman who presented with dysphagia of
2 months’ duration associated with vomiting, moderate abdominal pain, decreased oral
intake, and significant weight loss. During the past 3 years, the patient experienced intermittent
mild abdominal pain with infrequent vomiting. Endoscopy at Jordan University
Hospital showed a mass in the esophagus, and endoscopic biopsies were performed. The
preliminary histopathological report excluded malignancy. Two days after endoscopy, the
patient presented to the emergency department complaining of severely worsening pain
and total dysphagia. The pain persisted despite intravenous paracetamol administration,
which was concerning for esophageal perforation; therefore, an urgent surgical intervention
was performed. The mass was removed surgically, along with a para-esophageal
lymph node. The final histopathological results of the endoscopic and resected specimens
supported the diagnosis of pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma (PMHE). This is the
first case reporting esophageal involvement of PMHE. |
