Abstract:
Cavernous hemangioma is the most common benign tumor of the liver. This tumor is mostly small and asymptomatic, but giant cavernous hemangioma can produce symptoms and complications including abdominal pain, palpable mass and hemorrhage due to spontaneous or traumatic rupture. The authors encountered exceptionally large hemangioma with abdominal pain and anemia, and performed successful right hemihepatectomy, and present the case with the brief review of the literature.
