Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the liver diagnosed by liver biopsy under laparoscopy
We report a case of primary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma arising in the liver. There were no specific findings or signs except for the deformity and multiple lesions of the liver at imaging procedures, which included magnetic resonance imaging. The key to the diagnosis was histological examination of liver biopsy specimens obtained under laparoscopy. Plasma factor VIII activity was elevated, which was also helpful in the diagnosis.
