Core Tip	Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEH) is a rare neoplasm with variable malignant potential. Liver transplantation is the most frequently reported treatment because most patients have multifocal bilobar lesions. Here, we describe a case of a 35-year-old woman with unresectable multiple bilobar HEH that was successfully treated by combination treatment of hepatectomy and carbon-ion radiotherapy. This case demonstrated two significant points: the effectiveness of carbon-ion radiotherapy for HEH and the possibility of expanding the curative treatment options for multiple bilobar hepatic tumors.
