A Comprehensive Approach to Treating Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma of the Auricle: A Case Report.

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare vascular neoplasm that commonly presents in the bone, lung, and liver. EHE can have a slow-growing, locally aggressive, or metastatic potential. EHE of the auricle is rare, with few reported cases. Various treatment strategies have been reported on, but due to the rarity of EHE, their effectiveness has yet to be established. Surgical resection is the most common form of treatment, and adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy have been performed in select cases. This report presents a case of auricular EHE, highlighting diagnostic challenges and therapeutic considerations. It aims to demonstrate the potential utility of adjuvant radiotherapy in managing EHE following surgical resection.
