ABSTRACT
Hepatic hemangiomas are the most common benign liver tumor of infancy and are divided into two main types rapidly involuting congenital hemangiomas (RICH) and non-involuting congenital hemangiomas. RICH typically involute by 12 months and are often asymptomatic. Surgical resection is rare. Indications for surgical resection include rupture, rapid growth, consumptive coagulopathy, and abdominal pain. We present two patients from different institutions who both developed clinically significant ascites as the RICH involuted, prompting surgical resection. This is a new indication for resection.
