INTRODUCTION Liver cavernous hemangioma is the most common noncystic hepatic lesion, and a hemangioma that undergoes degeneration and fibrous replacement is called a hepatic sclerosed hemangioma. CASE PRESENTATION A 63-year-old Japanese man was admitted for detailed investigation of a liver tumor. Tumor markers carcinoembryonic antigen, alpha-fetoprotein, and CA19-9 levels in the peripheral b...

A 47-year-old male presenting with abdominal distension and pain was found to have a giant hemangioma of the liver measuring 22cm in its greatest diameter upon preoperative MRI. The patient underwent preoperative trans-arterial embolization (TAE) of the hemangioma, followed by extended right hepatectomy for definitive treatment. This case illustrates a novel multidisciplinary approach to the tr...

   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. ...

four patients with sonographic suggestion of hepatic hemangioma are studied with tc99m-labeled rbc scan. the scan findings are compaired with other imaging modalities. lesions as small as 36 mm could be detected by this method.tc99m labeled rbc scan is a valuable tool to differentiate hepatic hemangioma from other space occupying lesion of the liver.

BACKGROUND The assessment of liver fibrosis is an important way for prediction of liver disease progression and patient's prognosis. Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) is strongly associated with stage of liver diseases. overestimation of liver fibrosis in heart failure has been reported. We would like to introduce a new leading cause of liver fibrosis overestimation by presentation of two cases...

RATIONALE Hemangioma of the liver is a benign hepatic tumor, more common in women than in men, which is typically asymptomatic, solitary, and incidentally discovered. Atypical hemangioma is a variant of hepatic hemangioma with atypical imaging finding features on CT and MRI that can be confused with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) and mixed hepatocellular c...

Hepatic cavernous hemangioma accounts for 73% of all benign liver tumors with a frequency of 0.4-7.3% at autopsy and is the second most common tumor seen in the liver after metastases. Patients affected by hemangioma usually have their tumor diagnosed by ultrasound abdominal examination for a not well defined pain, but pain persist after treatment of the hemangioma. The causes of pain can be va...

Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) is a method for the treatment of liver hemangioma, but fewer studies reported the long-term result.Retrospective study was conducted to liver hemangioma patients who received TAE. The inclusion criteria included the following: the period of follow-up was more than 5 years; and patients were followed up for less than 5 years, but received surgical treatm...

INTRODUCTION Hemangioma is the most frequent benign solid tumor of the liver. It is well known that a giant liver hemangioma carries the risk of spontaneous rupture, followed by hemoperitoneum and hemorrhagic shock with possible fatal outcome. CASE OUTLINE This is a case report of the spontaneous rupture of a giant cavernous hemangioma of the liver in an 85-year old patient.The patient was pr...

introduction: hemangiomas are the most frequent benign tumors of the liver and detecting them from metastasis or other malignant hepatic tumors is of outmost importance. 99mtc- rbc scan is highly specific and is the method of choice for this differentiation. this scintigraphy is performed in planar and spect modes. these two procedures are in agreement most of the times, however since spect is ...
