About this study

Official title: Epithelioid Hemangioma of Bone And Soft Tissue: a Benign Tumor With Metastatic Potential

The controversy surrounding epithelioid hemangioma diagnosis stems from its somewhat aggressive clinical characteristics, including multifocal presentation and occasional lymph node involvement.

The investigators reviewed the clinicopathologic and radiologic characteristics of bone and soft tissue epithelioid hemangioma in patients treated at our institution with available tissue for molecular testing.

The hypothesis is that epithelioid hemangioma may present with multifocal involvement and rare loco-regional lymph node metastasis, but it remains a benign tumor with excellent prognosis.

Read the detailed description

The investigators retrospectively reviewed patients treated for epithelioid hemangioma of the bone and soft tissue in a single insitution. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pathological, clinical, and radiological characteristics of epithelioid hemangioma arising within bone and soft tissue, in the first cohort of cases where the definitive diagnosis is supplemented by molecular techniques.

The hypothesis is that the improved knowledge regarding this rare entity can more definitively elucidate the benign biology of epithelioid hemangioma.

  • SurgeryProcedure or surgery

    Patients affected by epithelioid hemangioma treated with surgery

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Multifocal presentation of patients with epithelioid hemangioma of bone and soft tissue without producing a fatal outcome

    The investigators defined multifocal presentation the presence of secondary lesions by imaging at presentation of the disease or during follow-up.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Epithelioid Hemangioma of Bone and Epithelioid Hemangioma, run by Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Multifocal presentation of patients with epithelioid hemangioma of bone and soft tissue without producing a fatal outcome (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 May 2017.
