Case Presentation: In this paper, a patient with multiple mass lesions in the liver with a diagnosis of EHE who underwent liver transplantation is presented. Conclusion: It has an intermediate degree of malignancy between benign hemangioma, and malignant hemangiosarcoma. It can manifest with nonspecific symptoms or hepatic failure. Generally it is seen as a diffuse hepatic disease. The most optimal treatment alternatives are liver resection, and transplantation.
