Abstract: Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare neoplasm with a variable malignant potential and a high risk of recurrence. No general treatment guidelines have been established. Fortunately, we were able to minimize immunosuppressant after liver transplantation because of a full HLA-matched case. There was no recurrence 1 year after treatment.<br />Competing Interests: None of the authors has any conflicts of interest to disclose.<br /> (© 2019 The Authors.
