Medical Therapy

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 treatments may be needed:

• Inserting a material in a blood vessel of the liver to block it (embolization).
• Tying off (ligation) a liver artery.
• Medications for heart failure.
• Surgery to remove the tumor.
