A case of hepatic epithelioid haemangio-endothelioma is described in a 42-year-old female who presented with abdominal pain and hepatomegaly. The radiographic finding showed multiple hepatic lesions in both lobes. Diagnosis was based on the liver biopsy. The tumour cells were immunoreactive with factor VIII related antigen and vimentine. A liver transplantation was performed. Although at the time of diagnosis there was no clinical evidence of metastasis, the intra-operatorive examination revealed multiple mesenteric and pulmonary neoplastic nodules. The patient is alive and well seven months after liver transplantation.

Abstract

A case of hepatic epithelioid haemangio-endothelioma is described in a 42-year-old female who presented with abdominal pain and hepatomegaly. The radiographic finding showed multiple hepatic lesions in both lobes. Diagnosis was based on the liver biopsy. The tumour cells were immunoreactive with factor VIII related antigen and vimentine. A liver transplantation was performed. Although at the time of diagnosis there was no clinical evidence of metastasis, the intra-operatorive examination revealed multiple mesenteric and pulmonary neoplastic nodules. The patient is alive and well seven months after liver transplantation.
