| Abstrakt: | Hepatic endotheiloid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) commonly presents with multilobar involvement with locally aggressive behavior. In most cases, it presents with right upper quadrant abdominal pain, hepatomegaly, and weight loss with metastasis commonly to the lung. We present a 33-year-old woman with hepatic EHE with an initial presentation mimicking hepatic abscess and imaging findings misleading for metastatic liver lesions. It was confirmed on pathology with immunohistochemistry, but the patient could not survive due to her late presentation and the presence of metastatic lesions in the lung.
