Primary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the spine is the extremely rare malignant vascular neoplasm with an unpredictable outcome. A case of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma with multiple lytic lesions of thoracolumbar spine and other bones in a 29-year-old male patient is reported. A review of the published data regarding this rare neoplasm is also presented. The features of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma include the occurrence in the young male patient, multiple osteolytic lesions with thin sclerotic rim and hypermetabolic activities. However, its imaging features are not specific. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography is essential for identification of the lesions and subsequent follow-up for treatment.

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare form of vascular neoplasm that can manifest with various symptoms or be discovered incidentally in asymptomatic patients. In this report, we describe a case of a 56-year-old male who presented with progressive lower limb weakness over four years. The evaluation revealed severe hypophosphatemia, an inappropriately normal fibroblast growth factor 23 C-terminal (cFGF-23) level, and a 30 x 20 mm hypermetabolic right pleural mass, which was subsequently proven to be EHE.

Epithelioid haemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare vascular neoplasm characterised by proliferation of vascular endothelial and pre-endothelial cells. The prevalence is less than one in a million people. It is principally observed in the soft tissues of the extremities but can also occur in the bone, brain, liver, lung and lymph nodes.

Background: Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is an uncommon vascular malignancy characterized by an unpredictable clinical course and a high potential for recurrence and metastasis. The lack of standard treatment guidelines, coupled with the tumor's inconsistent response to available treatments, complicates the management of EHE and leads to widely varying patient prognoses.
Case Presentation: We report two cases of EHE with distinct presentations reflecting the site of involvement.
