Abstract

Epithelioid haemangioendothelioma is a malignant tumour of vascular origin that can occur in the mediastinum. Operative treatment techniques may vary depending on the localization. Our goal was to focus on different surgical techniques, ranging from simple stapling of the vascular structure to replacement of the superior vena cava.

Keywords: Epithelioid haemangioendothelioma; Mediastinum; Superior vena cava replacement.
