JUANMARTINENA FERNANDEZ, José Francisco et al. Giant hepatic hemangioma, an uncommon presentation of a frequent disease. Rev. gastroenterol. Perú [online]. 2018, vol.38, n.2, pp.201-203. ISSN 1022-5129.

Hepatic hemangiomas, also referred to as cavernous hemangiomas, are the most common benign mesenchymal hepatic tumors. They are often solitary, small lesions that have an excellent safety-prognosis and were commonly incidentally detected. Hepatic hemangiomas are frequently asymptomatic, although symptoms are more likely in those lesions larger than 5 cm also referred to as giant hemangiomas. We present a case of a pauci-asymptomatic 43 year-old woman with an uncommon 16x16x27 cm giant hemangioma and perform a review of the literature.
