Abstract:
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHEs) is a vascular endothelial-derived tumor, which can be seen in the liver, mediastinum, lung and other parts, and most often occurs in the liver. Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) is rare in clinical practice. The etiology and pathogenesis of HEHE are still unclear, and it depends on imaging and pathological examination. A case of multiple space-occupying lesions in the liver was reported. The patient had no history of chronic liver disease, and was diagnosed as hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma by abdominal ultrasonography,contrast-enhanced CT,and PET-CT. Partial hepatectomy and intraoperative microwave ablation were performed. Postoperative pathological diagnosis confirmed the diagnosis of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma. This case report aims to provide clinicians with ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
