Abstract

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EH) of a hand bone is extremely rare. We describe a patient with a phalangeal EH. This was treated by resection of the entire middle phalanx with no recurrence within a 10-year postsurgical follow-up period. We recommend wide resection as the safest treatment for EH of the hand phalanx.
