Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is an uncommon vascular tumor, primarily seen in 20-40 years of age. We report the case of a 14-year-old boy with EHE and distant metastases identified on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-FDG PET/CT), leading to a change in the management plan. F-FDG PET/CT proved to be useful in identifying the rare sites of metastasis and planning further treatment.
肝上皮样血管内皮瘤（EHE）是一种罕见的血管肿瘤，主要见于20至40岁人群。我们报告一例14岁患EHE的男孩，其在18F-氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描（F-FDG PET/CT）检查中发现有远处转移，这导致了治疗计划的改变。F-FDG PET/CT被证明在识别罕见转移部位和规划进一步治疗方面很有用。
