  Liver hemangioma is the most common benign neoplasm of the liver (it occurs in 2%-5% of the population and is several times more frequent in women). It usually manifests as a single focal lesion, rarely as multiple lesions. Most often it has no symptoms and is found incidentally on imaging. If present, most common symptoms include vague right upper quadrant discomfort, fullness, and early satiety. Rarely, in the case of large hemangiomas, thrombosis (associated with acute abdominal pain and fever) as well as Kasabach-Merritt syndrome (thrombocytopenia and consumption coagulopathy due to clot development in the hemangioma) may occur. Also, symptoms related to the tumor pressing on adjacent organs may sometimes be present, such as early satiety and abdominal pain. Very rare complications of hemangiomas include intraperitoneal rupture and consumption coagulopathy.

  Hemangioma is the most common benign tumor of the liver and has a prevalence in the population of 5% to 20%. […] Proper treatment of angimatous formations requires that, after diagnosis and absence of symptoms, the patient is sent for periodic observation (i.e., for evaluation of instrumental examinations at regular intervals). Patients with symptoms should be further examined to rule out the presence of other pathologies and, most likely, be referred to surgical removal of the formation, if no other causes of complaints of symptoms are identified. The rupture of the lesion, the increase in size, and the Kazabach-Meritt syndrome are indications for surgical intervention. […] Surgical resection usually involves enucleating the formation by checking the blood supply to the arteries, but sometimes anatomical resection may be required.

  Liver Hemangioma is a tangle of blood vessels that developed in the liver. It is a noncancerous condition and it does not increase the risk of cancer. […] As Hemangioma usually is small and seldom results in complication, it does not generally require any treatment. In rare occasion in which the hemangioma is huge and symptomatic, it may be treated with arterial embolization or surgical excision.

  Hemangiomas are the most common benign liver masses. They are often diagnosed as incidental findings on imaging studies of the abdomen or during exploratory surgeries. These lesions can produce symptoms when they enlarge to more than 4 cm. […] Transcatheter hepatic arterial embolization should be considered before undertaking exploratory laparotomy to treat patients who have a hemorrhagic hemangioma. […] Hemangiomas measuring 4 cm or larger are considered „giants” and may produce symptoms. […] When a hemangioma measures more than 4 cm, it is classified as a „giant.” Giant hemangiomas may become symptomatic, generally producing poorly localized and vague abdominal pain or discomfort. Symptoms attributed to their mass effect have been reported, including abdominal fullness, early satiety, nausea, and vomiting.

  Most cases of liver hemangiomas are discovered during an imaging study done for some other condition. People who have a liver hemangioma rarely experience signs and symptoms and typically dont need treatment. […] Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience any persistent signs and symptoms that worry you. […] If your liver hemangioma is small and doesnt cause any signs or symptoms, you wont need treatment. In most cases a liver hemangioma will never grow and will never cause problems. Your doctor may schedule follow-up exams to check your liver hemangioma periodically for growth if the hemangioma is large. […] Treatment options may include: Surgery to remove the liver hemangioma. If the hemangioma can be easily separated from the liver, your doctor may recommend surgery to remove the mass.

[…] While hemangioma liver lesions themselves do not pose a threat, they do present a diagnostic challenge. […] Hemangiomas share similar characteristics to other liver lesions, and are commonly mistaken for malignant hyper vascular tumors of the liver, such as hepatoma (hepatocellular carcinoma) and fibrolamellar carcinoma. […] To prevent misdiagnosis, radiographic images with suspicious findings should be read by a subspecialty radiologist.

  Most liver hemangiomas don’t need any treatment. If the mass is larger than 5 centimeters, your doctor may schedule follow-up exams once or twice a year. […] They may treat liver hemangiomas that are causing symptoms. […] Although most hemangiomas don’t require making lifestyle changes, your doctor may suggest the following to improve your liver’s overall health: Eating a healthy diet. Working out. Limiting alcohol intake. […] Your doctor may recommend trans-arterial embolization to prevent blood from getting to the mass. […] During this treatment, doctors inject medicine into the hepatic artery to block blood flow. This helps reduce the tumor’s size and stop it from getting bigger. […] If your mass is large, surgeons may want to remove it. If they can’t separate the hemangioma easily, they may remove part of your liver as well.

  The vast majority of hepatic hemangiomas do not require treatment. Perform ultrasonography periodically, every 12 months (more often in the case of enlarging lesions). […] Indications for surgical treatment: Lesions 10 cm in diameter, clinical symptoms (pain [acute pain in a patient with a large hemangioma may be a symptom of an impending tumor rupture], fever), significant diagnostic uncertainty, rapid enlargement of the hemangioma, consumption coagulopathy, vascular anomalies (arteriovenous shunt causing diversion of blood flow), compression of the bile ducts or adjacent organs. […] Liver hemangiomas are no contraindication to the use of combined oral contraceptive pills or to pregnancy. In large cavernous hemangiomas (defined variably, 5 or 10 cm in diameter) the increase in intra-abdominal pressure and blood volume during pregnancy may increase the risk of rupture (but the risk still remains low). Regardless of their size, hemangiomas do not require surveillance during pregnancy. Testing is necessary when new symptoms develop.

In a prospective study, an increase in the hemangioma size was noted in only 1 of 47 patients who were rescanned 1-6 years after the initial diagnosis. In addition, malignant transformation has not been reported in hepatic hemangiomas. For these reasons, most hepatic hemangiomas may be left safely alone. […] Once the diagnosis of hepatic hemangioma is confirmed by radiologic studies, it remains uncertain whether follow-up radiologic studies are warranted to reassess the size of the tumor. The American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) recommends against the performance of routine follow-up imaging studies for patients diagnosed with hepatic hemangioma, except in the setting of chronic hepatitis B. In the authors’ practices, patients typically undergo ultrasonography at 6 and 12 months after the initial diagnosis.

  The vast majority of hepatic hemangiomas do not require treatment. Perform ultrasonography periodically, every 12 months (more often in the case of enlarging lesions). […] Indications for surgical treatment: Lesions 10 cm in diameter, clinical symptoms (pain [acute pain in a patient with a large hemangioma may be a symptom of an impending tumor rupture], fever), significant diagnostic uncertainty, rapid enlargement of the hemangioma, consumption coagulopathy, vascular anomalies (arteriovenous shunt causing diversion of blood flow), compression of the bile ducts or adjacent organs. […] Liver hemangiomas are no contraindication to the use of combined oral contraceptive pills or to pregnancy. In large cavernous hemangiomas (defined variably, 5 or 10 cm in diameter) the increase in intra-abdominal pressure and blood volume during pregnancy may increase the risk of rupture (but the risk still remains low). Regardless of their size, hemangiomas do not require surveillance during pregnancy. Testing is necessary when new symptoms develop.

  Suspected hemangiomas are generally treated only when they become symptomatic, show evidence of hemorrhage, or have diagnostic uncertainty. Transcatheter arterial embolization has been used to manage symptomatic giant hemangiomas. […] It is worth considering transcatheter hepatic arterial embolization as therapy for a hemorrhagic hemangioma before performing exploratory laparotomy. A patient in whom a giant hemangioma has ruptured is likely to be hemodynamically marginal at best; embolization allows the hemorrhage to be controlled so that subsequent resuscitation can be provided in a more controlled environment.

  There are important exceptions to not following up with radiologic studies over the long term. Patients with new onset of abdominal pain deserve a follow-up imaging study. There is disagreement as to whether the patients who undergo treatment with estrogens or women who become pregnant need surveillance; indeed, a number of studies have reported accelerated hemangioma growth in patients in patients with high estrogen states. The ACG recommends against the monitoring of both pregnant women and patients with large hemangiomas (ie, 10 cm). However, the authors of this chapter and others disagree. Patients with large hemangiomas may deserve long-term follow-up, perhaps with annual ultrasonography, because of their probable increased risk of complications.

  Liver haemangiomas are the most common type of liver tumour. They are not a type of cancer, and it is very rare for them to cause any problems. […] Most haemangiomas will never cause any problems. If you have no symptoms, the safest thing is to leave the haemangioma alone. […] If you do start to have symptoms that might be caused by your haemangioma you should speak to your doctor. They will be able to do more tests and refer you to a specialist. In very rare cases you might be offered surgery. This is only needed when the haemangioma is causing severe symptoms. […] Liver haemangiomas are almost always harmless. You should be able to carry on with life as normal. […] There is no need to avoid any particular foods. But eating a healthy, balanced diet, and not drinking too much alcohol will help to keep your liver healthy.

  Most hepatic hemangiomas are small and asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis, and they are likely to remain that way. In a prospective study, an increase in the hemangioma size was noted in only 1 of 47 patients who were rescanned 1-6 years after the initial diagnosis. In addition, malignant transformation has not been reported in hepatic hemangiomas. For these reasons, most hepatic hemangiomas may be left safely alone. […] Once the diagnosis of hepatic hemangioma is confirmed by radiologic studies, it remains uncertain whether follow-up radiologic studies are warranted to reassess the size of the tumor. The American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) recommends against the performance of routine follow-up imaging studies for patients diagnosed with hepatic hemangioma, except in the setting of chronic hepatitis B. In the authors’ practices, patients typically undergo ultrasonography at 6 and 12 months after the initial diagnosis. Providing that no change in hemangioma size has occurred, long-term follow-up radiologic studies are probably not necessary.
