Overview
A hepatic hemangioma is a noncancerous liver tumor made of widened (dilated) blood vessels and is the most common primary liver tumor.
Diagnosis
Physical Examination
They are frequently asymptomatic and incidentally discovered at imaging, surgery, or autopsy. Hepatic hemangioma is usually not discovered until medical pictures are taken of the liver for some other reason. If a cavernous hemangioma ruptures, the only sign may be an enlarged liver.
