Abstract
Epithelioid haemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare vascular tumour that primarily affects the liver, lungs and bone. It is very rarely described in the head and neck region, and is exceptionally uncommon within the submandibular region. We report a very rare case of EHE originating in a lymph node within the submandibular salivary gland of a 54-year-old female patient. The tumour was resected and the patient was regularly followed up, with no recurrence of disease at 24 months postoperatively. A review of existing literature, clinical and immunohistopathological features are discussed, which highlight the diagnostic dilemma, absence of consensus for management and appropriate surveillance method associated with EHE.
