[Giant pedunculated cavernous hepatic haemangioma: a case report and review of the literature]

Abstract

Cavernous hepatic haemangioma is the most frequent benign liver tumour, but the giant pedunculated form is rare because only 17 cases have been described in the literature. We report our experience of one case, and compare it to the 17 other described cases. Age, incidence and size of the lesion were the same as results in the literature. Our patient has had a left hepatic lobectomy because of an uncertain diagnosis. We discuss the diagnosis and the different treatments.
