Massive hepatic haemangioma

ABSTRACT

Small haemangiomas of the liver are not uncommon, but very large tumors constitute a very rare clinical entity. We describe a case of massive, diffuse, cavernous haemangioma of both lobes of the liver in which therapeutic angiographic embolization was successfully used to control persistent haemorrhage following biopsy. The current literature is also reviewed with particular reference to diagnosis and treatment
