Abstract
Malignant vascular neoplasms of the liver are uncommon. We report the case of a young woman who developed an epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the r iver associated with multiple focal nodular hyperplasias and hepatic cavern ous hemangiomas. Such an unusual association is probably not fortuitous and could support the theory that focal nodular hyperplasia is a reaction to a n abnormal vascular supply rather than a true neoplasm.
