Case report of surgical management of a giant cavernous malformation of liver
Abstract
Hemangiomas are the most common benign t u m o r s o f t h e l i v e r. T h e y a r e g e n e r a l l y asymptomatic, but giant hemangiomas can lead
to abdominal discomfort, bleeding, or obstructive symptoms, and spontaneous rupture which is rare but has a catastrophic outcome if not promptly
managed. The effectiveness of liver resection to treat such symptoms has varied in published reports. The management of giant (????5 cm)
hemangioma of the liver remains controversial. The aim of this case report was to assess the influence of tumor size on postoperative
outcomes after hepatectomy in patients with giant hemangioma of the liver.
