Abstract
RAMIA, José M. et al. Liver transplantation for diffuse epithelioid hemangioendothelioma. Rev. argent. cir. [online]. 2023, vol.115, n.3, pp.278-281. ISSN 2250-639X. http://dx.doi.org/10.25132/raac.v115.n3.1693.
Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) is an extremely rare vascular tumor of unclear etiology. The diagnosis is difficult due to the absence of specific clinical characteristics, laboratory tests results and radiological findings. The management of HEHE depends on tumor size, location, extrahepatic extension, and patients’ medical status. Liver transplantation is one of the possible options with good clinical results, although the risk of recurrence is not negligible. We present a new case of HEHE managed with liver transplantation.
