Malignant epithelioid hemangioendothelioma
(
MEH
), or high-risk epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, is a low- to intermediate-grade vascular malignancy. A few cases of
MEH
have been documented in the head and neck region, including the neck, thyroid gland, larynx and scalp. MEHs are extremely rare in the oral cavity. Only 31 cases of
MEH
in the oral cavity were described in English literature between 1975 and 2014. Further, only eleven cases were referred to
MEH
of the maxillary or mandibular gingiva. No gingival
MEH
metastases
have been described in literature. We report a literature review and a case of
MEH
with a metastatic occurrence 4 years after surgical excision.
