Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is an uncommon vascular tumor that can present in various organs, including the liver. Hepatic EHE (HEHE) may showcase with metastases at initial presentation, as patients have vague symptoms such as right upper quadrant pain leading to the risk of delayed diagnosis. There is no standard treatment. Fortunately, prognosis is good. This remains true for some patients with metastatic disease who are not being actively treated. In this report, we present a unique case of metastatic HEHE in a 65-year-old Caucasian male who has not received treatment and continues to remain in stable condition after his initial diagnosis three years ago.
上皮样血管内皮细胞瘤(EHE)是一种罕见的血管肿瘤,可发生于多个器官,包括肝脏。肝上皮样血管内皮细胞瘤(HEHE)在初诊时可能就伴有转移,因为患者有右上腹疼痛等模糊症状,导致诊断延迟。目前尚无标准治疗方法。幸运的是,预后良好。对于一些未接受积极治疗的转移性疾病患者也是如此。本报告介绍了一名 65 岁白人男性的转移性 HEHE 独特病例,该患者未接受治疗,在三年前首次诊断后至今仍处于稳定状态。
