A 28-year-old Malay man presented with progressive paraparesis over a period of 6 months. Magnetic resonance imaging of the spine revealed a thoracic intramedullary spinal cord tumor at the T-7 level with homogeneous enhancement following intravenous gadolinium administration. Laminectomy and partial decompression of the tumor was performed. Histological examination of the tumor revealed features of spindle cell hemangioendothelioma. The patient was managed with limited field radiotherapy followed by systemic interferon therapy. Good neurological improvement was seen subsequently. The patient has survived 48 months with growth restraint at the primary site, although residual neurological deficit persists. Immunotherapy should be considered as a treatment modality for intramedullary hemangioendothelioma of the spinal cord after surgery and radiotherapy.

“…EHE has been reported in the liver, lung, gastrointestinal tract, head, neck, central nervous system, heart, bone, and skin. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Liver and lung lesions are more common in females, whereas tumors of the bone and soft tissues have an equal sex distribution.…”

<p class="abstract"><span lang="EN-US">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.</span></p>

“…Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma are characterized by rounded, eosinophilic epithelioid cells. The spindle cell hemangioendothelioma is typically described as being composed of two cellular components [1,6,10,13]. Vascular spaces lined by endothelial cells separate cellular areas of spindle cells which are distinguished by the focal presence of rounded endothelial cells which form nests or line vascular channels.…”

“…These soft tissue tumors have been described in lung, heart, lymph nodes, liver, and bone. In that the central nervous system cases are rare, we describe for the first time an intraspinal (intradural extramedullary) hemangioendothelioma occurring in a 46-year-old male and its propensity for local recurrence [1,6,11].…”

“…Hemangioendothelioma is a vascular neoplasm characterized by a histologic appearance intermediate between hemangioma and angiosarcoma [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Enzinger and Weiss describe hemangioendothelioma as a heterogeneous group with at least three subgroups defined, including epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, spindle cell hemangioendothelioma, and malignant endovascular angioendothelioma [2,13].…”
