ABSTRACT
Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) is a vascular tumor with a low incidence rate. We report a case of a 26-year-old man who was referred to our hospital with a misdiagnosis of liver cirrhosis. On physical examination, ascites was noted. Chest and abdominal computer tomography scans showed coalescent lesions involving the peripheral liver with heterogeneous contrast enhancement and portal vein dilation due to portal hypertension. Extrahepatic metastasis was not observed. The biopsy with immunohistochemical stains suggested HEHE (Factor VIII, CD31, and CD34). This report describes an uncommon case of HEHE with non-cirrhotic portal hypertension.
RESUMEN
El hemangioendotelioma epitelioide hepático (HEHE) es un tumor vascular con una tasa de incidencia baja. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 26 años que fue remitido a nuestro hospital con un diagnóstico erróneo de cirrosis hepática. En el examen físico se observó ascitis. La tomografía computarizada de tórax y abdomen mostró lesiones coalescentes que afectaban al hígado periférico con realce heterogéneo de contraste y dilatación de la vena porta por hipertensión portal. No se observó metástasis extrahepática. La biopsia con tinciones inmunohistoquímicas sugirió HEHE (Factor VIII, CD31 y CD34). Este informe describe un caso poco común de HEHE con hipertensión portal no cirrótica.
