Epithelioid haemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare vascular tumour that can occur in a wide variety of anatomical sites including the liver, lungs, skin, bone and is rarely reported in the oral cavity. The condition is classified as a tumour of intermediate malignancy as, in contrast to other types of haemangioendothelioma, EHE can result in distant metastasis and the death of the patient. Due to the minimal number of cases reported of individuals diagnosed with EHE, no definitive data on different treatment options exist and complete excision with follow up and consideration of adjuvant radiotherapy is the universal treatment option. This case report highlights the investigation, diagnosis and treatment of a 25-year-old man who was diagnosed with EHE arising within the mandible. The article also presents the published literature of documented cases of mandibular and maxillary EHE.

Introduction: Epithelioid haemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare vascular neoplasm that primarily occurs in the soft tissues of the extremities, with “intermediate” or “borderline” malignant biological characteristics and a propensity for recurrence and metastasis. Oral cavity involvement is extremely rare, with only 5 reported cases of intraosseous EHE of the mandible. Herein, we report an additional case and review the related literature. Patient concerns: A 44-year-old man was referred to our institution with a 2-month history of left lower lip numbness and a 2-week history of painful swelling of the left mandible. He had received antibiotic treatment, which failed to ameliorate his symptoms. His medical and family histories were not significant. Diagnosis: Enhanced computed tomography revealed a poorly defined, 4.5 × 3.5 × 1.0 cm osteolytic lesion in the angle and ramus of the mandible, as well as an eroded lingual cortex. Histopathological examination confirmed a diagnosis of EHE. Interventions: Surgical resection was performed via segmental mandibulectomy and the defect was reconstructed using a vascularized fibular flap. Outcomes: The patient did not exhibit signs of locoregional recurrence after 3 years of follow-up. Conclusions: Intraosseous EHE of the mandible is an unpredictable lesion with a relatively benign course; however, the few reported cases of this disease do not highlight any factors that can predict the risk of locoregional recurrence or metastasis. There is also no consensus regarding the optimal treatment for intraosseous EHE; however, we recommend extensive local excision with close clinical follow-up.
