Oncol."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare malignant vascular tumor that develops from vascular endothelial or pre-endothelial cells. More than 60% patients have single-organ involvement, and involvement of multiple organs including the liver, lungs, and bones is extremely rare. The typical radiographic features of EHE include multiple small nodules in both lungs, which are usually located near small- and medium-sized blood vessels and the bronchi, and solitary, multiple, or diffuse lesions located at the hepatic periphery, spreading within the branches of the portal and hepatic veins. Radiologic calcification has been rarely reported in the literature. Here, we firstly described a case of a 53-year-old woman with EHE who presented with lungs, liver, bone, and right hilar lymph node involvement, manifesting as massive calcification on computed tomography. This case reminds physicians that EHE may present with unusual imaging manifestations, like massive calcification, and should be considered during the diagnostic process.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fonc.2021.782970","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,17]],"date-time":"2021-12-17T05:02:52Z","timestamp":1639717372000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Massive Calcified Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma With Multifocal Involvement: An Imaging Diagnosis Dilemma and a Rare Case Report"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Feng","family":"Che","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cai wei","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xue","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qian","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yi","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xi jiao","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bin","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0142(19830201)51:3<452::AID-CNCR2820510317>3.0.CO;2-M","article-title":"Intravascular, Bronchiolar, and Alveolar Tumor of the Lung (IVBAT).
