Popis: Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is an extremely rare sarcoma whose target may be different organs, including soft tissue. The spectrum of the disease is highly variable between indolent and aggressive with extended metastases. Herein, we report a case of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma in the left forearm that progressed quietly for ten years before local and distant metastases appeared. Our case report aims to insist on the interest in the management of such tumors at an early stage because of the possible evolution toward metastasis, even after several years of asymptomatology.
