LIVER TRANSPLANTATION FOR EPITHELIOID HEMANGIOENDOTHELIOMA WITH DIFFUSE INTRAPERITONEAL METASTASES: A CASE REPORT
https://doi.org/10.15825/1995-1191-2013-4-104-111
Abstract
We report the case of a young woman who underwent liver transplantation for epithelioid hemangioendothe- lioma with diffuse intraperitoneal metastases. We observe the 1-year survival without tumor progression on everolimus-based immunosuppression. The different therapies and the results of surgery for this disease are discussed in short literature review.
