AB  - A new case of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is reported to have occurred to a 67-year-old patient who consulted for right-sided chest pain. The work-up showed multiple right pulmonary lesions associated with bilateral moderate pleural effusion and left-sided pleural thickening and three hypodense nodules in the right lobe of the liver, peritoneal thickening, ascites, and multiple vertebral lytic lesions. The diagnosis of an epithelioid hemangioendothelioma was concluded through a histological examination of a computed tomography scan guided biopsy of the liver. The patient received a primary mono-chemotherapy with Adriamycin (75 mg/m2 every three weeks) and intravenous bisphosphonates without response and general status impairment. The patient died after 16 months of follow-up.
