Abstract
A case of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the liver is reported. Both immunohistochemical and electron-microscopic examinations revealed the neoplastic cells to share many characteristics with endothelial cells. We discuss and compare this rare tumor, which represents a low-grade sclerosing hemangiosarcoma of the liver, with its pulmonary counterpart, which is known as intravascular bronchioloalveolar tumor (IVBAT).
