چکیده
Cavernous haemangioma (CHL) is the commonest benign tumour of the liver. It was first described in 1861 by Frerichs and later by others. CHL of the liver are common in females and can occur at any age. The majority of these tumours are small, asymptomatic and without clinical significance. Large tumours might cause symptoms and require treatment. The symptoms can be non-specific and diagnosis difficult. We are describing two patients of CHL whom we saw between March 1982 and 1989.
