BACKGROUND Hemangioma, a congenital vascular malformation, is the most common benign liver lesion that is usually remain stable subsequently requiring not treatment; however, complications such as abdominal pain or fullness, coagulation disturbances, and inflammatory syndrome may occur, demanding a specific treatment of hemangioma. OBJECTIVES To assess the safety, feasibility and efficacy of ...

Intrahepatic venous collaterals develop in Budd-Chiari syndrome, hepatomas, and other tumors if the hepatic veins are obstructed. In portal hypertension hepatic vein-to-vein anastomoses develop without obstruction of the hepatic veins. In a 53-year-old woman with giant cavernous hemangioma of the liver, hepatic venography demonstrated remarkable hepatic vein-to-vein anastomoses in the periphery...

RATIONALE Hepatic hemangioma, a benign liver tumor, can rarely spontaneously rupture and hemorrhage, which is then associated with significant mortality. The diagnosis of internal hemorrhage is challenging and the management is disputed. PATIENT CONCERNS We describe the case of a 52-year-old female patient with chief complaints of fever and anemia, with no history of recent trauma. DIAGNOSE...

Background Pedunculated hepatocellular carcinoma (P-HCC) has rarely been reported and is characteristically large and encapsulated. Only sporadic cases have been published, in which P-HCC was combined with other liver tumors (mostly benign), making the diagnosis difficult. Case presentation We report a patient who was admitted to our hospital with clinical features of intestinal obstruction and...

BACKGROUND Although being classically located inside the liver parenchyma, hemangiomas may occasionally develop outside the extra-hepatic capsule, thus appearing as a pedunculated mass. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 66-year-old anal cancer female patient presenting with an asymptomatic sub-hepatic mass. Incidental diagnosis of a pedunculated hepatic hemangioma was strongly suggested by ...

Hepatic tumors in children account for only 1 to 5% of all pediatric tumors. Hepatic hemangioma is, however, the third most common tumor of the liver in childhood. We report a case of an antenatal diagnosis of a hepatic tumor detected on a first obstetric ultrasound, at 26(th) week of gestation. It revealed a complex, predominantly solid hepatic lesion with 3 x 3 cm and a marked, essentially pe...

Hemangioma is the most common benign tumor of the liver. Liver hemangioma (LH) usually remains asymptomatic, but the most common symptoms associated with LH are abdominal pain and discomfort. LH is an uncommon cause of bile duct dilatation and obstructive jaundice. An 83-year-old Japanese woman who received hemodialysis at another hospital was referred to our hospital because of abnormal liver ...

ocal splenic lesions are rare, occurring with a frequency of about 0.2% on sonography.1 Hemangiomas are the most common primary benign neoplasms of the spleen, with prevalence ranging from 0.3% to 14% at autopsy.2–4 On gray scale sonography, a splenic hemangioma may show the typical appearance described for a liver hemangioma (a hyperechoic lesion with well-defined margins with or without poste...

Hemangioma is the most common benign hepatic tumor. We present the case of a patient with a giant symptomatic hemangioma, treated with segmental liver resection using the Da Vinci Robotic System. A 38-year-old woman presented to our surgical out-patient Department complaining about abdominal discomfort and recurrent episodes of acute abdominal pain. CT-scan and MRI imaging of the abdomen reveal...
