Article Synopsis
  • Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) is a rare malignant vascular tumor with different types that affect prognosis and treatment plans, posing unique clinical challenges for diagnosis and therapy.
  • The unclear causes of HEHE complicate its diagnosis, which often relies on tissue biopsy but encounters issues due to late identification and misdiagnosis, lacking specific treatment guidelines.
  • Surgical options are the primary recommendation for better survival outcomes, but limited patient eligibility and donor organ shortages for liver transplants create obstacles; non-surgical treatments show promise but have limited research backing.
