Cavernous hemangiomas of the liver

Cavernous hemangiomas of the liver is a relatively common benign tumor of the liver. Except for the skin and mucous membranes, the liver is the best place for cavernous hemangiomas. It can be single or multiple, with or without pedicles. It is more common on the surface of the liver. The entire liver is clearly bulging towards the abdomen. The tumor is soft in texture, honeycomb in section, filled with blood, elastic and compressible. The tumor does not produce any symptoms at the beginning, and gradually grows up and causes a series of symptoms due to compression of the surrounding organs. It can also cause complications such as heart failure. As the tumor gradually grows, if left untreated, there is a risk of rupture and major bleeding.
