Abstract :
[en] A case of pathological hip fracture associated with an epithelioid hemangioma is reported. Epithelioid hemangioma is a benign tumor, rarely localized in a bone. When the tumor is found on the skeleton, it generally involves a long bone. X-ray does not permit the differenciation of epithelioid hemangioma from other,malignant, vascular tumors.
Therefore,the diagnosis requires surgery. Although no consensus treatment guidelines exist, the curettage – filling is most often proposed.
