Giant liver haemangioma: the reported case
A 65-year-old man presented with persistent abdominal pain and a feeling of fullness. Imaging identified a liver mass measuring 12 × 10 cm, described in the original clinic report as a giant liver haemangioma. A haemangioma is a benign vascular lesion and is different from liver cancer.
Imaging and treatment planning
The report describes evaluation with ultrasound and CT before transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE). Treatment was selected because of the patient’s symptoms and imaging findings. Many liver haemangiomas do not need an intervention; management depends on the diagnosis, symptoms and the individual’s clinical situation.
Catheter-based treatment
During the reported procedure, treatment was delivered through a catheter into the arteries supplying the lesion. The aim was to reduce its blood supply. The specific drugs, materials and technique must be selected by the treating team rather than assumed from a general description.
Reported follow-up
The original account records symptom improvement and a reduction in lesion size on imaging after treatment. It does not establish that embolisation is the preferred treatment for every haemangioma. Observation, embolisation and surgical options require individual assessment.
