“…Treatment usually requires surgical approach (resectable cases) or liver transplant, due to the limited response to radiotherapy and chemotherapy [9]. Liver transplant, despite its rare indication (0.8% of all EH cases), shows similar results to non-neoplastic indications, with a disease-free survival in 5 years of 46%-82% [10,11].…”

EH (Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma) is a rare vascular malignant neoplasm. Only 434 cases had been reported until 2006. Symptoms may be nonspecific, but it also can involve hepatic veins resulting in Budd-Chiari syndrome. The main differential diagnosis is cholangiocarcinoma, sometimes only distinguishable through immunohistochemistry study. We report a case of a young woman diagnosed with hepatic EH and listed for liver transplantation.

We present a case of a 77-year-old male patient with a liver tumour diagnosed as hepatic epithelioid haemangioendothelioma (HEHE), a potentially malignant tumour treated with liver resection. The patient is disease-free 3 years after resection. Imaging features using fludeoxyglucose F 18 positron emission tomography CT and MRI with gadoxic acid as well as histopathological findings are discussed.

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the liver as a rare indication for liver transplantation

Abstract: Unresectable HEHE, without extrahepatic metastases is an excellent indication for liver transplantation. Long-term survival is very good and much better than in HCC patients and the entire group of OLTx patients.
