Background: Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma(EHE) is a low-grade malignant tumor of vascular origin. The rarity of HEHE make the diagnosis and treatment of this entity very challenging. Case presentation: We report a case of a 69-year-old female patient suffering from HEHE who complained of "Abdominal distension pain with dizziness, appetite loss more than half a month". Enhanced computed tomography (CT) of the upper abdomen indicated multiple space-occupying lesions in the liver. The pathological results of color ultrasound puncture suggested HEHE. We performe transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and relevant examinations according to the patient's condition and the patient choice. Follow-up examinations 18 months after discharge did not demonstrate tumor recurrence.Conclusions:HEHE is a relatively rare hepatic malignant tumor derived from vascular endothelial cells, with low incidence, atypical clinical manifestations, difficult diagnosis, and the diagnosis can only be confirmed with pathological results. Currently, appropriate treatment methods should be selected according to the specific conditions of patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
