Overview
Elective surgical resection is recommended among symptomatic patients with a large hepatic hemangioma > 5 cm.[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]
- Surgery is usually reserved for patients with:[2]
- Spontaneous rupture
- Traumatic rupture with hemoperitonium
- Intratumoral bleeding
- Consumptive coagulopathy (Kasabach-Merritt syndrome)
- Hepatic hemangioma remain stable over time and surgical treatment is not recommended unless there is signs of rapidly growing hepatic hemangioma.[3]
- Or when the size at the presentation is more than 15 cm.[4]
