In this report, we present the case of patient who was diagnosed with a primary giant EHE of the spine and underwent treatment with total en-bloc spondylectomy (TES).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A 43-year-old male patient with a history of he presented to our hospital with chronic and progressive back pain. Physical examination revealed weakened sensation of acupuncture and touch on the left costal arch, while relatively normal neurological functions were preserved. Radiological examinations identified a giant destructive soft tissue lesion occupying the T8 vertebral region, with moderate destruction of the pedicle and lamina, as well as the 7\n                      <jats:sup>th<\/jats:sup>\n                      left rib. A preoperative biopsy of the 8th vertebra resulted in a diagnosis of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma(EHE). Postoperative immunohistochemical and pathological reports confirmed the presence of EHE in the left ribs and T8 ribs. The patient underwent resection of the 7th left rib and posterior pedicle screw fixation with 8 pairs of screws and a titanium mesh cage. Subsequently, thoracic en bloc spondylectomy was performed on the T8 vertebra. The patient did not receive radiation or chemotherapy following surgery. Over a period of 3 years, the patient remained free of disease and relapse.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The use of transarterial embolization with spherical embolic agents (TES) has been demonstrated to be a safe, effective, and reliable treatment option for hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE).
