Ear Nose Throat J. 2024 Mar 20:1455613241239859. doi: 10.1177/01455613241239859. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma (PMHE) is a rare vascular neoplasm with an intermediate to low-grade malignant potential. Only 5% of PMHEs occur in the head and neck. This tumor exhibits different histological patterns and mimics other vascular tumors, myoid tumors, or carcinomas. The distinction between these tumors can be a very challenging situation for pathologists. In this article, we report the first case, to our knowledge, of PMHE arising in the maxillary sinus, to highlight this uncommon entity and discuss differential diagnoses.PMID:38509719 | DOI:10.1177/01455613241239859
