Hepatic hemangioma is the most common benign tumor of the liver. Most such hemangiomas are small, asymptomatic, and have an excellent prognosis. Giant hepatic hemangioma has been reported in the literature, but the exophytic and pedunculated forms of hepatic hemangioma are rare. A 56-year-old woman was referred to our hospital under the suspicion of having a gastric submucosal tumor. Abdominal ...

The ideal surgical treatment of giant liver hemangioma is still controversial. This study aims to compare the outcomes of enucleation with those of resection for liver hemangioma larger than 10 cm in different locations of the liver and establish the preoperative predictors of increased intraoperative blood loss.Eighty-six patients underwent enucleation or liver resection for liver hemangioma l...

a 36-year-old woman with right upper quadrant abdominal pain since three months previously and no other significant medical history was referred for evaluation of an abdominal mass. upon clinical examination, a large palpable mass in the mid -upper abdominal area was noted. abdominal ultrasound and spiral ct-scan showed a large hepatic mass in the left liver lobe. the patient was referred for t...

68 INTRODUCTION L iver hemangioma is the most common benign tumor of the liver (1–6). It is composed of cavities lined with endothelial cells and filled with blood (4). Giant liver hemangioma (GLH) is defined as a lesion greater than 4 cm in diameter (1). Most cases with liver hemangioma are asymptomatic and discovered incidentally on a liver ultrasound or computed tomography scan (2–4). Most p...

Hemangioma is the most common congenital benign liver tumor. It affects mostly female, with incidence of 0.4- 20%. Giant hemangioma induce Kasabach Merritt syndome, a life threathening coagulation disorder which occur due to consumptive coagulopathy: trombocyte sequestration and agregation inside hemangioma. The mortality rate around 60%, cause multiorgan complication may end up sepsis. core ma...

INTRODUCTION Hepatic sclerosing hemangioma is a very rare benign tumor, characterized by fibrosis and hyalinization occurring in association with degeneration of a hepatic cavernous hemangioma. We report here a rare case of multiple hepatic sclerosing hemangioma mimicking metastatic liver tumor that was successfully treated using laparoscopic surgery. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 67-year-old woman ...

Liver hemangiomas are often asymptomatic, smaller and diagnosed incidentally. A giant hemangioma is defined as a lesion with a diameter greater than 5 cm. Giant hemangiomas can become symptomatic and may cause mechanical complications related to tumour size [1]. Also, complications such as coagulation disorders, bleeding and traumatic rupture can occur during conservative management period [1]....

Sclerosed hemangioma is a rare variant of hemangioma. We present herein a case of hepatic sclerosed hemangioma. Imaging studies including ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a mass located between the liver and the stomach, with marginally streaky enhancement. A malignant neoplasm originating from the mesentery was suspected preoperatively....
