Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma

Abstract

A case of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is presented. Plain and conventional enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed a low density region and capsular retraction in the liver, but not clearly. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed peripherally extending low density region on T1-weighted images, but not clearly. CT during arterial portography (CTAP) clearly demonstrated the characteristic peripheral extensions and capsular retractions of this tumor.
