Case report describes rare vascular tumor

A 40-year-old man presented with abdominal distention and significant weight loss.


A recent case report described the diagnostic challenges associated with hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, a rare vascular tumor with variable clinical features. A 40-year-old man presented with abdominal distention and significant weight loss. While initial evaluations suggested cirrhosis and vascular pathologies, such as Budd-Chiari syndrome, subsequent liver biopsy confirmed hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma. The case report was published July 15 by Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases.
