We report two patients with spinal epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EH), an uncommon vascular, potentially malignant tumour. Neurological signs, diagnostic images, surgical techniques and complications, histology and the role of adjuvant therapy are discussed. Primary manifestation of EH of the vertebral column is rare. Thorough preoperative clinical and radiological workup, radical surgical excision, and close postoperative follow-up are recommended.
