Abstract
Malignant hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare, vascular tumor of the liver with peak incidence in the middle age with a female preponderance and of unknown etiology. Majority of the tumors are asymptomatic. The gold standard for diagnosis of the tumor is liver histology showing presence of epithelioid tumor cells on a background of a hyaline stroma. Immunohistochemical positivity for CD31, CD34, Factor VIII, and Podoplanin (D2-40) is confirmatory. The treatment of choice is liver transplantation.Entities:
