A 58-year-old female was diagnosed with epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE). The intrahepatic lesion exhibited a "Lollipop sign," associated with capsular retraction. On the PET/CT, there are multiple lesions in the lungs with variable high and low FDG uptake, and focal calcifications are present on CT. Additionally, destruction of the thoracic vertebrae has been observed.

From the Department of Radiology, Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital, Harbin, China (Q.S., P.L., J.Z.); and Department of Diagnostic, Molecular, and Interventional Radiology, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, 1 Gustave L. Levy Pl, New York, NY 10029 (Q.S., P.L., R.Y., D.F.Y., C.I.H.).

Background Angiolymphatic invasion (ALI) is an important prognostic indicator in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, few studies focus on radiologic features for predicting ALI in patients with early-stage NSCLCs 30 mm or smaller. Purpose To identify radiologic features for predicting ALI in NSCLCs 30 mm or smaller in maximum diameter.

Background: Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEH) is extremely rare, and CT features have never been analyzed in a large group of patients.

Methods: A retrospective study was designed to review the contrast-enhanced CT images of HEH patients. Intrahepatic lesions were categorized into three types: nodular, locally coalescent (coalescent lesion contained in one segment) or diffusely coalescent (coalescent lesion occupied more than one segment).

Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) is a rare hepatic vascular tumor with a borderline biological behavior between hemangioma and hemangiosarcoma. It tends to be multiple or diffuse subcapsular lesions across the liver but has no characteristic clinical manifestations or imaging findings. On computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, these lesions usually have a hypodense appearance with heterogeneous enhancement and a "halo sign" or "lollipop sign" may be evident in some cases.

Background: Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) is a rare hepatic vascular tumor with unpredictable malignant potential. The etiology, characteristics, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of HEHE are not well-understood, and large-scale retrospective studies are required to understand better this disease.

Aim: To determine the characteristics of HEHE and identify its optimal treatments and prognostic factors.
