Two
different types of Hepatic Hemangiomas should NOT be
confused:
- Infantile
Hepatic Hemangioma
: Liver tumors seen in newborns and
infants. These tumors are infantile
hemangiomas, but may have various clinical
presentations and imaging features. Click
the subtitle for more
information.
|
- Adult
Hepatic Hemangioma : These
lesions, commonly called as
"cavernous hemangiomas of the
liver", are usually
incidentally detected with ultrasound or CT or MRI
scan in adulthood. It is believed that
these liver lesions are venous
malformations of the liver (similar to
soft tissue venous
malformations) and do not represent
neoplastic (tumor) tissue. Some large
tumors may be symptomatic and may require
treatment. Click the subtitle for more
information about these hepatic (liver)
lesions.
