ABSTRACT
Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare vascular neoplasm of intermediate malignancy that generally occurs in infancy and early childhood. Typically, the lesion arises from superficial or deep soft tissues of the extremities, trunk and retroperitoneum. The paucity of reported cases of head and neck KHEs is evidence of the rarity of the disease in this region. We report on the presentation and treatment of KHE in an 11-month-old boy who presented with a mandibular lesion. We include a brief discussion about the differential diagnosis of KHE. Management involved preoperative interventional radiology, surgical excision and chemotherapeutic treatment with Sirolimus. The lesion resolved without evidence of relapse 12 months later.
