Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the distal lower extremity and the role of radiotherapy: A report of two cases.

We report two cases of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) in the distal lower extremity. Our first patient had unicentric EHE of the left os calcis initially treated with an intralesional procedure; however, later developed two recurrences which were managed with radiation therapy. Our second patient had multicentric EHE of the distal tibia and fibula managed with primary radiation therapy. Although EHE is typically treated with wide resection or an intralesional procedure, we present two cases of EHE in the distal lower extremity to discuss the therapeutic role of radiation therapy in the management of distal EHE.
