Hepatic hemangioma is a common liver tumor that usually forms from abnormal dilation of blood vessels within the liver. Most hepatic hemangiomas are benign, but in some cases they can also cause serious complications and therefore require prompt treatment and management.
What are the symptoms?
Most hepatic hemangiomas are asymptomatic and are usually discovered inadvertently during abdominal ultrasound or other tests. For some larger hepatic hemangiomas, the following symptoms may occur:
1.Abdominal discomfort: Large hepatic hemangiomas may cause discomfort such as abdominal discomfort, pressure, and fullness.
2.Abdominal mass: Larger hepatic hemangiomas can be felt in the abdomen.
3.Jaundice: Larger hepatic hemangiomas may affect the function of the liver, leading to symptoms such as jaundice.
4.Abdominal pain: If the hepatic hemangioma is large, it may cause pressure on the surrounding tissues, causing abdominal pain.
5.Digestive symptoms: When the liver hemangioma is large, it may compress the stomach, intestines and other digestive organs, resulting in digestive symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.
