An epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare vascular tumor of the head and neck region, which carries a risk of recurrence and metastasis. Its etiology is still unclear. It frequently involves the lungs, liver, and bones. Rarely, it may manifest in other parts of the body. Pathologic immunohistochemical investigations are essential to make the definite diagnosis. As it is uncommon, there is no standardized protocol for the treatment of EHE. Herein, the authors report a rare patient with of an EHE localized in the head and neck region.
上皮样血管内皮瘤（EHE）是头颈部一种罕见的血管肿瘤，存在复发和转移风险。其病因仍不清楚。它常累及肺、肝和骨骼。极少情况下，它可能在身体其他部位表现出来。病理免疫组化检查对于明确诊断至关重要。由于其不常见，目前尚无治疗EHE的标准化方案。在此，作者报告一例罕见的头颈部局限性EHE患者。
