Overview
Patients with small hemangiomas (less than 4 cm) are managed by observation, whereas asymptomatic patients are followed up with periodic radiological examination.[1]
Medical Therapy
Patients with small hemangiomas (less than 4 cm) are managed by observation, whereas asymptomatic patients are followed up with periodic radiological examination.[1]
Most cavernous hepatic hemangiomas are treated only if there is persistent pain. Treatment for infantile hemangioendothelioma depends on the child's growth and development. The following medical treatments may be needed:
- Medications for heart failure.
