Abstract
Hobnail hemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular neoplasm that belongs to the category of vascular neoplasms of borderline (or low-grade) malignancy, defined by a significant potential for local recurrence but very low numbers of metastatic or fatal events. It is typically found in the skin, and rarely in the oral mucosa of children and young adults. We report the first case of hobnail hemangioendothelioma located in the intestine (ileocecal valve).
