Abstract

The article discusses a case of retiform hemangioendothelioma (RH), a rare vascular tumor that is locally aggressive. The patient, a 20-year-old female, presented with a red plaque on her lower leg, which was successfully treated with Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS). The article highlights the challenges in diagnosing RH, the importance of clear margins in surgical excision, and the potential benefits of MMS in treating this rare tumor. The authors suggest further research to establish broader clinical guidelines for the treatment of RH. [Extracted from the article]
