Overview
Elective surgical resection is recommended for all patients who develop progressive abdominal pain and a size of more than 5cm.[1]
Surgery
Most cavernous hepatic hemangiomas are treated only if there is persistent pain. Elective surgical resection is recommended for all patients who develop:
- Progressive abdominal pain and a size of more than 5cm.[1]
- Treatment for infantile hemangioendothelioma depends on the child's growth and development. The following surgical treatments may be needed:
- Inserting a material in a blood vessel of the liver to block it (embolization).
- Tying off (ligation) a liver artery.
- Surgery to remove the tumor.
