Abstract
Hepatic hemangioendothelioma is a rare tumor which has malignant potential and a difficult radiological differential diagnosis that includes many others liver tumors as metastasic carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma and, especially, angiosarcoma. Thus, it is an entity that is usually not diagnosed in an accurate way by radiology and further histolopathological study is needed. However, hemangioendothelioma can present certain specificied patterns in contrast-enhanced imaging. In this regard, we present the case of a patient with an epithelioid hemangioendothelioma that shows these radiological features.
