What is your preferred treatment for a resected composite hemangioendothelioma of the skin arising from a childhood hemangioma?
Tumor 13 cm on back with retiform and kaposiform features; all margins negative except one abuts inked margin; atypical cells with 4 mitosis/HPF.
Additionally, is there a role for genetic testing particularly if the patient had a child with synovial sarcoma?
Answer from: Medical Oncologist at Academic Institution
Close observation would be most reasonable. Reoperate if there is a recurrence. Does not seem to conform to any specific genetic predisposition syndrome, but testing through a Geneticist can't hurt.
