Hepatic epitheloid hemangioendothelioma: multiphase CT appearance and correlation with pathology.
Epitheloid hepatic hemangioendothelioma was defined as a specific entity by Weiss and Enzinger in 1982. Histologically, this tumor originates from vascular endothelial cells and spindle cells. We report 3 cases of this rare neoplasm that presented to our institution over the past 3 years and briefly review the pathologic and imaging findings on MDCT (multiphase detector computed tomography).
