Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma, Multiple Focal Nodular Hyperplasias, and Cavernous Hemangiomas of the Liver

Abstract

Abstract Malignant vascular neoplasms of the liver are uncommon. We report the case of a young woman who developed an epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the liver associated with multiple focal nodular hyperplasias and hepatic cavernous hemangiomas. Such an unusual association is probably not fortuitous and could support the theory that focal nodular hyperplasia is a reaction to an abnormal vascular supply rather than a true neoplasm.
