ABSTRACT
We report the case of a 36 year-old woman presenting with a giant liver hemangioma revealed by febrile hepatomegaly and weight loss. The patient presented an inflammatory syndrome without hyperleucytose, anemia and a moderate anicteric cholestasis. Plasma concentrations of interleukine-6 were very high whereas interleukine-1 levels were relatively low and TNF levels were normal. Eight weeks of corticosteroid treatment (prednisone 40 mg/d) resulted in disappearance of symptoms after 48 hours and biological anomalies after 6 weeks. Clinical and radiological follow-up, for respectively 36 and 24 months, did not show any relapse of symptoms or evolution of the hemangioma.
