A 42-year-old man presented with a progressively painful mass of the penile shaft that clinically resembled superficial penile vein thrombosis. The patient’s symptoms were refractory to conservative therapy, and surgical excision revealed multifocal penile epithelioid hemangioendothelioma.

To our knowledge, this is only the second reported case of multifocal penile epithelioid hemangioendothelioma.
