Hepatic epithelioid hemangio endothelioma (HEHE) is a rare tumor of the liver, vascular in origin. Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is the accepted treatment option for bilobar infiltrating tumors. In case of limited and stable extrahepatic invasion, OLT is not strictly contraindicated. This study presents two HEHE cases treated with living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). The first patient, a 39-year-old female, had a rapid clinical onset of one month, and the tumor was unresectable at the time of diagnosis. The second patient was a 31-year-old male presenting with unresectable tumor and extrahepatic dissemination of the disease. In similar patients on the waiting list for cadaveric liver transplantation, undue delay can avoided through LDLT. Both of the presented patients are in an uncomplicated state as of postoperative month 11.
