Abstract:
This report concerns a case of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma presenting with liver enlargement, multiple hepatic calcifications on the plain abdominal film and bilateral interstitial pneumonia. Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is an unusual soft tissue tumor of "intermediate malignancy" characterized by a multicentric involvement of the liver and originating from endothelial cells. Histopathologic diagnosis may be difficult because of possible confusion with sclerosing epithelial tumors.
