Giant Hepatic Hemangioma: A Case Report

Abstract

A giant hepatic hemangioma is a large benign liver tumor, typically over 10 cm in size. While often asymptomatic, these tumors can cause abdominal discomfort or pain. Diagnosis relies on imaging like ultrasound and CT/MRI scans showing characteristic features. Treatment options include surgery for symptomatic or enlarging tumors, with alternative approaches like embolization or ablation considered in certain cases. Prognosis is generally good with appropriate management, including rare instances of spontaneous regression, especially in postmenopausal women. Further research is needed to refine treatment strategies for giant hepatic hemangiomas.
