In the present report, we describe a case of PEH in a 39-yr-old woman. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for CD34. [pesquisa.bvsalud.org]

The present case, on review and correlation with histomorphology, depicts most of the cytologic features of hepatic EH. [cytojournal.com]

It often presents in infancy with cardiac failure because of extensive arteriovenous shunting within the lesion. [en.wikipedia.org]

• Asymptomatic

  60% women No predisposing factors; occasional cases reported in vinyl chloride workers, women on oral contraceptives, hepatitis B / C patients, following hepatic trauma Symptoms: abdominal pain, weight loss, hepatic venous outflow obstruction; 40% are asymptomatic [pathologyoutlines.com]

  […] origin of the celiac artery and a decrease in the diameter distally, indicating significant shunting, is seen on angiograms. [16] Because most hemangioendotheliomas in infants sponanteously involute and regress within the first 12 to 18 months of life, asymptomatic [en.wikipedia.org]

  Some cases of partial spontaneous regression were also reported in some asymptomatic patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Confusion

  Jun 15, 2001 · Inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver, a rare benign lesion, is often confused with the malignant tumors. Until 1998, less than 80 cases had been reported in the world[1,2]. [sultowanigh.ml]

  In the lung and liver, common sites of metastatic tumor, it was most likely to be confused with carcinoma a far more common type of tumor. [en.wikipedia.org]

Therefore, preoperative diagnostic workup is of utmost importance to differentiate it from other primary and metastatic tumors of the liver. [bib.irb.hr]

•Others like surgery can be done as treatment for the virus during its most severe. [en.wikipedia.org]

Although the metastatic rate in this series was 27%, the prognosis is considered much more favorable than that of other hepatic malignancies. [scienceopen.com]

A standardized treatment algorithm for HEH already does not exist, due to its infrequency and variable prognosis. [eprints.bice.rm.cnr.it]

Weiss in 1996 as "spindle cell hemangioma", rather than hemangioendothelioma, due to the excellent prognosis observed in a group of 78 patients. [5] Retiform hemangioendothelioma (also known as a "Hobnail hemangioendothelioma" [3] ) is a low-grade angiosarcoma [en.wikipedia.org]

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare neoplasm of vascular origin that occurs in the liver and other organs; its etiology is unknown. [scienceopen.com]

The etiology is still a dilemma. Studies about suggestive hypothesis are ongoing. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology [ edit ] It is so rare that only 0.01 percent of the cancer population has it and it affects about 1 person in every 1,000,000 worldwide. [4] Around 20 cases are diagnosed in America every year – the cause is unknown. [5] It is unresponsive [en.wikipedia.org]

Because the lesion may otherwise mimic a hepatic tumor, knowledge of these findings may prevent unnecessary biopsy or inappropriate treatment. Inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver: 13 cases of MRI. [sultowanigh.ml]

When the lesions are small and limited in number, some authors recommend surgical resection or an preventive approach to asymptomatic patients. Successful curative resection achieves good outcomes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
