Abstract

A 27-year-old woman was referred to our hospital to investigate liver tumor. The laboratory tests revealed no abnormal finding in blood chemistry. Abdominal CT demonstrated irregular tumor located in the surface of the bilateral hepatic lobe. PET-CT demonstrated no abnormal FDG-accumulation. Histological findings from tumor biopsy showed epithelioid shaped tumor cells with immunohistochemically positive for factor VIII-related antigen, CD31, CD34, and vimentin, and negative for cytokeratin and desmin. The tumor was diagnosed as epithelioid hemangioendothelioma. The patient received transarterial infusion chemotherapy, since curative resection was not possible. The patient did well with no symptom up to 2007. The liver function was deteriorated with tumor extension after 2008. The tumor occupied in the most lesion of the liver, and the patient was suffered with edema and ascites in 2009. On September 2009, her general condition was remarkably worsened, and she died of hepatic failure and peritoneal dissemination of the tumor.<br>
