摘要
A young woman had a liver mass resected. The lesion was diagnosed as a cavernous hemangioma of the liver (Figure 1). What statement is most accurate about liver hemangioma? a.Hepatic hemangiomas are common benign liver tumors.b.Hepatic hemangiomas are exceptionally rare benign liver tumors.c.Hepatic hemangiomas are rarely discovered incidentally.d.Hepatic hemangiomas most often occur in elderly men. Answer: a. Hepatic hemangiomas are common benign liver tumors. A spectrum of vascular lesions can occur in the liver, from hemangiomas to hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma and angiosarcoma. Unlike hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma and angiosarcoma, hepatic hemangiomas are benign tumors. Hepatic hemangiomas are common benign liver tumors.1Choi B.Y. Nguyen M.H.

On histologic evaluation, most hepatic hemangiomas are cavernous hemangiomas with cavernous vascular channels with fibrous stroma lined by a single layer of endothelial cells (Figures 2 and 3).Figure 3Cavernous hemangioma of the liver composed of endothelial cell–lined blood-filled spaces.View Large Image Figure ViewerDownload Hi-res image Download (PPT)
