Oral Pseudomyogenic Hemangioendothelioma: Case Report and Review of the Literature

Pseduomyogenic hemangioendothelioma (PMH) is a vascular neoplasm of intermediate biological potential first described by Hornick and Fletcher (Am J Surg Pathol 35:190–201, 2011). Despite its initial categorization as a malignant entity, PMH often demonstrates an indolent behavior profile, and thus was classified as a rarely metastasizing endothelial neoplasm in the 2013 WHO Classification of Tumors of Soft Tissue and Bone. It is a tumor primarily of skin and soft tissue, with most reported cases involving the trunk or extremities. To date, only one case of PMH involving the oral cavity has been reported. Herein, we present a case of PMH involving the mandibular gingiva and vestibule of a 33-year-old female and discuss the salient features of this entity.
