Hemangioendothelioma (HE) is an uncommon vascular tumor originating from endothelial cells lining blood vessels that can manifest in various anatomical locations, including the oral cavity. The spectrum varies from Intermediate between entirely benign hemangiomas to highly malignant angiosarcomas. Generally epithelioid HE (EHE), variants have a low degree of malignancy, with a tendency to local relapse but a less metastatic potential. Here we describe a rare case of epitheloid hemangiendothelioma, asymptomatic soft pinkish growth in the lower lip of a 65 years old Female, an excisional biopsy was performed and confirmed by histopathological diagnosis. This report adds valuable insight to the uncertainty in selecting the most suitable treatment with dilemma in management. A wide excision is the treatment of choice with regular follow-up is advised as potential for high recurrence.
