Key result
A primary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma occurring in the larynx presents specific diagnostic challenges and clinical problems arising from surgical therapy in the laryngeal area.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report represents the first documented instance of primary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma in the larynx, highlighting diagnostic and surgical challenges.
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is an uncommon vascular tumor of the soft tissues. Several reports have described this tumor in visceral locations such as liver, lung, and brain. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of an immunohistochemical and ultrastructural study of a primary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma occurring in the larynx. Difficulties concerning the differential diagnosis and clinical problems arising from surgical therapy in the laryngeal area are also discussed.

Boscaino et al. (1999) conducted a case report in Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the larynx (n=1). Surgical therapy and immunohistochemical study was evaluated. A primary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma occurring in the larynx presents specific diagnostic challenges and clinical problems arising from surgical therapy in the laryngeal area.
