Özet

Primary sarcomas of the liver account for about 1% of all liver tumors. Two basic histological forms of these sarcomas are hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma and angiosarcoma. Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a tumor of vascular origin that involves soft tissues and organs. Primary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the liver was first described by Ishak in 1984 and has an incidence of 1/100,000. We present a 68-year-old female case referred to the pathology department with an initial diagnosis of cholangiocellular carcinoma and diagnosed with primary hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma with review of the literature.
