Description
Summary:Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare non-epithelial tumor derived from vascular endothelial cells. A 70-year-old Japanese man was diagnosed with metastatic EHE of the mandible, which originally developed at the superior vena cava (SVC).

He was able to maintain oral nutrition until right before passing away, 24 months after his first visit.
