Abstract

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare malignant vascular sarcoma. Here we present a patient with a very large tumor arising from the superior vena cava, in whom a resection with negative margins was accomplished using venovenous bypass and bovine pericardial patch reconstruction of the superior vena cava.
