Chemoembolization of hepatic epitelioid hemangioendotheliomaCase report
- ZRIR IKEM, Praha
Authors present a case report of a patient with epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) treated by chemoembolization (TACE). The patient is without clinical manifestations and without tumour progression on imaging methods during long term follow-up of 9 years after diagnosis of HEHE. Characteristics of HEHE as a rare malignant tumour as well as diagnostic and treating options are discussed in the paper.
