Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the liver is a rare vascular neoplasm with intermediate malignant potential. The prognosis is highly unpredictable. We report the case of a 59-year-old woman who had the tumor radically resected, but multiple metastases of the liver developed associated with thrombocytopenia and consumption coagulopathy, as observed in Kasabach-Merritt syndrome. The patient did not respond to any treatment and the behavior of the tumor was very aggressive. The patient died 15 months after radical resection of the tumor.
