Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) is a rare tumor which arises from mesenchymal tissues. It is predominant in the uterus, but very rare in the liver. To the best of our knowledge, less than 5 cases of PEComa of the liver have been reported. Herein we present two pathologically proven cases of PEComa of the liver, retrospectively analyze their clinical and imaging features, and review the literature.
