Özet

Pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma (PHE) is a rare neoplasm with vascular origin mostly seen on the extremities. Up to date, the terminology which represents PHE has been a subject to debate. According to the World Health Organization, PHE is classified among the soft tissue tumors. PHE is mostly seen in soft tissue planes and the distal lower extremities are the most affected location of the body. Localization of this tumor on the head and neck region is uncommon. PHE, being a sarcoma does not favor lymphogenic metastasis. As far as we are concerned, this is the first described case of PHE of the external ear and retro auricular sulcus. In this paper, the management of this case and the current treatment options of PHE are discussed.
