Abstract:
Epithelioid Hemangioendotheliomais a rare, low-grade malignant vascular tumour. It’scalled hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma(HEHE), when it occurs in liver. It can be metastatic and postoperative recurrence. There are few cases have been reported in the literature at home and abroad because of its rarity. The treatment of HEHE is also controversial. With the continuous improvement of surgical techniques of liver transplantation, it is increasingly applied to treat liver failure patients caused by HEHE. Our paper reviews the literature on disease characteristics of HEHE, and liver transplantation for HEHE indications, immunotherapy and prognosis, to illustrate the status and progress of liver transplantation for HEHE.
