Giant hepatic hemangioma is a benign liver condition that may be treated using surgery. We studied the digital subtraction angiographic (DSA) characteristics of giant hepatic hemangioma, and the effectiveness of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) alone for its treatment. This was a retrospective study of 27 patients diagnosed with giant hepatic hemangioma and treated with TAE alone (usin...

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES To evaluate a computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) system for the characterization of liver lesions in computed tomography (CT) scans. The stand-alone predictive performance of the CADx system was assessed and compared to that of three radiologists who were provided with the same amount of image information to which the CADx system had access. MATERIALS AND METHODS The CAD...

BACKGROUND Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (BRBNS) is characterized by distinctive vascular malformations of skin and the gastrointestinal tract, often leading to chronic anemia and intestinal bleeding. It usually presents right after birth or during early infancy. Though the disease is inherent, its occurrence is sporadic. Thus it is usually not timely diagnosed. We analyzed the clinical chara...

Background and Aims. Hepatic hemangioma (HH) has a widely ranging prevalence. The etiology is unclear; however, associations with autoimmune disorders have been described. We aimed at evaluating the prevalence of HH in celiac disease. Methods. Ninety-seven consecutive patients with celiac disease (18 M, 79 F, median age 41, and range 17-84 years) underwent liver ultrasound between January 2011 ...

Hyperdynamic hemangiomas (HH) are atypical hepatic hemangiomas with an incidence of approximately 16% of all hemangiomas in the liver. We report a case of HH in a 47-year-old woman. Multiphase helical CT scan, MRI appearances and differential diagnoses are discussed.

BACKGROUND Though accumulated evidence proved the advantages of laparoscopic hepatectomy, bleeding still remains the most important challenge in clinical practice. Our study aimed to compare the outcomes of Pringle maneuver (PM) and selective hemihepatic vascular occlusion (SHVO) surgeries for patients with liver cavernous hemangioma (LCH). METHODS The SHVO (n = 26; mean age, 42) and PM (n = ...

In this report, we evaluate the indications of, and present our recent strategy for, cavernous hemangioma of the liver. Seven patients with cavernous hemangiomas of the liver, who underwent hepatic resection were enrolled in this study. The lesions were located in the right lobe in 3 patients, the left lobe in 2, and in both the right and left lobes in 2. The longest diameter of the lesions ran...

Five cases of massive hemoperitoneum caused by spontaneous rupture of liver tumors, collected during a 27-year period, are reported. Four patients had a primary liver malignancy and one patient a liver cyst with hemangioma. Initial symptoms were obscure and hemoperitoneum was suspected pre-operatively in only one patient. At operation, a mean of 3100 ml of blood was found in the abdomen. Hemost...
