A 30-year-old female complaint of epigastralgia was diagnosed hepatic epitheloid hemangio endothelioma (EHE) by liver biopsy. The multiple nodules in bilateral lungs and liver were revealed on computed tomography (CT). The tumors of the left lung were resected under video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Pathologically these lesions were diagnosed as metastasis from EHE of the liver, and the patient was treated with interleukin-2 from hepatic artery for 12 months.
