  Primary Hepatic Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma (HEH) is a rare, low-grade, malignant hepatic neoplasm.

The most significant CT and MRI imaging findings were capsular retraction and peripheral location with slow progression. In addition, there were multiple hypermetabolic liver tumors seen on FDG-PET/CT and hepatic arterial penetration of the tumor on Dynamic CT (DCT), which may be useful in the diagnosis of HEH. ..
