Key result
Rare intra-oral epithelioid haemangioendothelioma case highlights histological diagnostic challenges of this malignant vascular neoplasm.
Why the study?
Intra-oral epithelioid haemangioendothelioma is rare, and its histological diagnosis has posed difficulties, particularly in differentiating it from epithelioid haemangioma.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights a rare presentation of intra-oral Epithelioid Haemangioendothelioma and the challenges in its histological diagnosis.
We report a rare case of intra‐oral Epithelioid Haemangioendothelioma (EHE) in a 68 year old Caucasian female. EHE is a rare, well‐differentiated, malignant vascular endothelial neoplasm of varying biologic behaviour. This tumour generally arises in soft tissue as a solitary lesion and has a predilection to the lower extremities but can be present elsewhere. Histological diagnosis of this entity has provided difficulties in the past especially with that of Epithelioid Haemangioma (EH).

Leader et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Epithelioid Haemangioendothelioma (n=1). Epithelioid Haemangioendothelioma was evaluated. A rare case of intra-oral Epithelioid Haemangioendothelioma in a 68-year-old female highlights the histological diagnostic challenges associated with this malignant vascular endothelial neoplasm.
