A 35-year-old male with a rare epitheloid hemangio-endothelioma of the right aryepiglottic fold was successfully treated with diode laser excision and remained well without complaints at 9 months follow-up.
Case Report (n=1)
Reports the first known case of epitheloid hemangio-endothelioma involving the aryepiglottic fold.
Consider EHE in atypical aryepiglottic lesions; hypothesis-generating for recognition and management.
Epitheloid hemangio-endothelioma is a very rare tumour of intermittent malignancy of vascular origin, having a tendency to recur with rare incidence of metastasis. The tumour is intermediate between haemangioma and angiosarcoma, mainly affecting liver, lung as well as bones, skin, penis, ovary, scalp, or any part of the body. Internet search was made with the key words epitheloid hemangio-endothelioma and epitheloid hemangio-endothelioma of Larynx, since now only single case has been reported from larynx involving subglottis. Hence we report this rare entity with involvement of the larynx (Sub site: Rt. Aryepiglottic fold) describing clinical and histopathological characteristic. This is perhaps the first case of epitheloid hemangio-endothelioma involving aryepiglottic fold.

Fefar et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Epitheloid hemangio-endothelioma of right aryepiglottic fold (n=1). Micro laryngeal LASER surgery (diode laser excision) was evaluated on Patient outcome at follow-up. A 35-year-old male with a rare epitheloid hemangio-endothelioma of the right aryepiglottic fold was successfully treated with diode laser excision and remained well without complaints at 9 months follow-up.
