Abstract

Malignant hemangioendothelioma is a tumour of vascular origin with wide distribution in various organs and tissues of the body. However, it is seldom localized primarily in bone. In this report our experience with a case of primary multifocal malignant hemangioendothelioma of the metacarpal bones is reported. Because of the focal pattern of malignancy excisional biopsy failed to give the diagnosis which was not established until the tumour was radically removed.
