May support limb-sparing allograft reconstruction in rare distal radius EHE; single Level 5 case leaves efficacy unconfirmed.
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular tumor with cytologic behavior between angiosarcoma and hemangioma. We present the case of a 58-year-old male with primary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the distal radius measuring 6.2 × 5 cm with extension into the pronator quadratus and brachioradialis muscles. We discuss our approach to performing a limb-sparing resection combined with reconstruction to preserve upper extremity function. A review of the clinical, radiographic, and pathologic features of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is also presented.

Duncan et al. (2007) conducted a case report in Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the distal radius (n=1). Limb-sparing resection and radius allograft reconstruction was evaluated on Tumor recurrence. Limb-sparing resection and radius allograft reconstruction of a distal radius epithelioid hemangioendothelioma resulted in bone union and no tumor recurrence at 16 months.
