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.

In this article, we describe the case of a 34-year-old woman presenting a multifocal and metastatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) of the liver. Under classical chemotherapy using cyclophosphamide, there was a fast tumor progression in liver and extra-hepatic metastatic sites (lungs and mediastinal lymph node). Taking into account the patient's age and the natural history of the HEHE, our goal was to try to bring her to liver transplantation (LT) and lenvatinib was an acceptable candidate for this reason.

Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare neoplasm of vascular origin. EHE is an intermediate-grade malignancy, between benign hemangioma and angiosarcoma, with variable aggressiveness. Involvement often is multinodular simulating metastases from a primatry extra-hepatic malignancy leading to delays in diagnosis.
