# Epithelioid Hemangioma Masquerading as a Clavicular Mass: A Diagnostic Conundrum

## TL;DR

A rare benign tumor called epithelioid hemangioma was diagnosed in a 40-year-old man after he presented with a clavicular mass.

## Contribution

This case adds to the limited medical literature on epithelioid hemangioma and highlights its diagnostic challenges.

## Key findings

- Epithelioid hemangioma was confirmed via histopathological examination of an excised clavicular mass.
- The tumor was located at the medial end of the right clavicle and measured 3 x 2.5 cm.

## Abstract

Epithelioid hemangioma (EH), a rare benign tumor, is documented in only a few cases in the medical literature. The complications of epithelioid hemangioma depend on the site of their presentation. If located in the eye, epithelioid hemangiomas may lead to amblyopia; in the larynx, they can cause respiratory issues; and if affecting bone, they can result in osteolytic lesions. Here, we present a case of a 40-year-old male who presented with swelling in the medial end of the right clavicle. Following clinical evaluation and a computed tomography scan, an excision biopsy was performed. The excised lesion measured 3 x 2.5 cm, and histopathological examination confirmed the finding as an epithelioid hemangioma.
