Sclerosed hemangioma of the liver

چکیده
Cavernous hemangioma of the liver is the most common benign neoplasm, and the liver is its most common visceral site, having been found at that location in about 19% of cases in one series. It is usually found incidentally during a radiologic workup. However, it can result in specific symptoms or manifest with large size or enlargement. Cavernous hemangiomas usually present as solitary well-delineated, subcapsular, discolored nodules that are smaller than 5 cm. They can exhibit various forms of pathology, such as necrosis, scarring, and calcification, some of which mimic the primary or metastatic malignancy. We present herein a case of sclerosed hemangioma in a 52-year-old man. We discuss the histopathologic features of this case along with another case of giant cavernous hemangioma of the liver.
