Abstract
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare, low-grade malignant hemangioendothelioma first reported in 1982. The disease is more likely to occur between 20 and 30 years with a 2:1 male-to-female ratio. Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma may occur in multiple organs and tissues, but it rarely involves the skeleton. We present a case in a thoracic vertebra.
