Two cases of spindle cell hemangioendothelioma (SCH) are reported. One of the patients was a 16 year old Japanese female, who had been suffering from
Ollier's disease
(multiple
enchondromatosis
) since 3 years of age and had developed multiple SCH in the right leg at the age of 11 years. Spindle cell hemangioendothelioma lesions coincided with the site of
enchondromatosis
and increased in number thereafter. This is the first report of
Ollier's disease
complicated with multiple SCH. Another patient, a 33 year old Japanese female, who was a carrier of
hepatitis B
virus (HBV), developed solitary SCH in the lateral aspect of the right ankle where a lipoma was extirpated 10 years previously. Tumor cells of both cases were composed of four cell types: (i) spindle cells; (ii) epithelioid cells; (iii) vacuolated endothelial cells; and (iv) usual endothelial cells. Endothelia in the cavernous area and vacuolated cells reacted to Ulex europaeus agglutin 1 (UEA-I), factor VIII-related antigen and vimentin. Spindle cells and epithelioid cells reacted only to vimentin.
