Abstract:
Objective To study the diagnosis and treatment of hepatic hemangioma. Methods (Retrospective) analysis was made on the clinical data of 50 patients with hepatic hemangioma in our hospital from January 1998 to January 2003. Results The accuracy diagnotic rate of ultrasound, CT, MRI were 90%(45/50), 97.6%(40/41), 100%(5/5) respectively.The correct diagnostic rate was 96.0% in this series. The operative indications were symptomatic hemangioma, diameter of tumor larger than 4.0 cm, or tumor with uncertain diagnosis. The operations performed were as follows:Laparoscopic(enucleation) of hemangioma in one cases. 3 patients treated by transcatheter arterial embolization, and(thirty-nine) patients underwent surgical(excision).No death occurred in this series. Four(10.3%, 4/39) had postoperative complications. (Conclusions) Hepatic hemangioma can usually be correctly diagnosed.Ultrasound, CT and MRI are the main(diagnostic) methods for the diagnosis of hepatic hemangioma.For patients with hepatic hemangioma that is(symptomatic), increasing in size,or of uncertain diagnosis, surgical treatment is safe and effective.
