Multifocal Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma

nterferon Alpha-2B and Liver Resection to Treat Multifocal Hepatic pithelioid Hemangioendothelioma: A Relevant Approach to Avoid iver Transplantation

Background. Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare malignant tumor of vascular origin with frequent multifocal appearance. Liver resection may cause tumor spread. Liver transplantation has been indicated for unresectable nodules. We hypothesized that adjuvant interferon treatment is effective to prevent metastasis after liver resection. We report a case of multifocal hepatic epithel...

A Novel Specific Genetic Translocation In Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma, Showing A Fusion Of The Wwtr1 And Camta1 Genes, Supports The Monoclonality Of Multifocal Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma

Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma: a report from three university centers*

OBJECTIVE To determine common imaging findings of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma on magnetic resonance images. MATERIALS AND METHODS A search was made of three institutional databases between January 2000 and August 2012. Seven patients (mean age, 47 years; range, 21-66 years; 6 women) with pathology-confirmed diagnosis of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma who had undergone m...

Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma: A Case with Large Solitary Pulmonary Mass and Hypertrophic Osteoarthropathy

We describe a case of pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (PEH), previously known as intravascular bronchoalveolar tumor, in a 48year-old woman with an initial diagnosis made by CT-guided transthoracic needle biopsy. This is a rare disease, with approximately 50 cases described in the literature. To our knowledge, this has not been previously described in the English-language literature....

Multifocal epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the foot and ankle: a case report.

We report on a 41-year-old man with multiple epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the left foot and ankle. The patient was treated with curettage and fixation with 2 separate plates, but later developed local infection. Owing to the potential for malignancy, below-knee amputation was suggested, but the patient declined and was treated symptomatically with close monitoring. The patient underwent ...
