Abstract
Primary calcified tumours of major central veins are extremely rare. Epithelioid haemangioendotheliomas (EHs) are malignant tumours of vascular origin with very limited reports in the literature. The aetiology is unknown. Immunohistochemically, tumours are often positive for at least one endothelial marker. We present a unique presentation of an EA in the superior vena cava.Entities:
