RESUMO
Angiosarcoma is a malignant tumor of endothelial origin. Epithelioid angiosarcoma is a subtype of angiosarcoma, in which the malignant endothelial cells have a predominantly epithelioid appearance. So far, few cases of primary hepatic epithelioid andiosarcoma (PHEA) have been described. In this case report, we describe two rare cases of PHEA. Microscopically, the tumors were consistently composed of atypical epithelioid cells with vesicular nuclei, prominent nucleoli, and eosinophilic cytoplasm. One patient had metastatic disease and underwent palliative hepatic surgery following radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and had a postoperative survival time of 12 months, while the other patient is still alive after tumor resection. PHEA is an aggressive malignant tumor with a high rate of metastasis.
