Article Synopsis
- Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare vascular tumor that can appear in various parts of the body, but cases in the oral cavity are limited, with this report detailing a 47-year-old woman who had a painful ulcer on her mandibular gum.
- A review of literature revealed 38 cases of EHE in the oral cavity, with 16 specifically on the gingiva, primarily presenting as painless swellings, and showing a tendency for bone resorption in the mandibular region.
- Diagnosis involves complex histological and immunohistochemical analysis, and treatment typically requires excision with clear margins along with long-term follow-up to monitor for potential recurrence or metastases.
Venous malformations (VMs) are aberrant venous vessel angiogenesis present at birth. However, they can become apparent later in life, debuting in early childhood.
