Department of Radiology, Nakatsu National Hospital, Oita, Japan.

A case of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is presented. Plain and conventional enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed a low density region and capsular retraction in the liver, but not clearly. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed peripherally extending low density region on T1-weighted images, but not clearly. CT during arterial portography (CTAP) clearly demonstrated the characteristic peripheral extensions and capsular retractions of this tumor.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images.

D018323 Hemangioendothelioma, Epithelioid A tumor of medium-to-large veins, composed of plump-to-spindled endothelial cells that bulge into vascular spaces in a tombstone-like fashion. These tumors are thought to have "borderline" aggression, where one-third develop local recurrences, but only rarely metastasize. It is unclear whether the epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is truly neoplastic or an exuberant tissue reaction, nor is it clear if this is equivalent to Kimura's disease (see ANGIOLYMPHOID HYPERPLASIA WITH EOSINOPHILIA).
