초록
Hemangioma of the liver is usually asymptomatic and incidentally discovered. However, giant hemangioma of the liver may besymptomatic, which is an indication for treatment. A 31-year-old female was admitted with a fever and 1-month history of a nonproductivecough. Her blood test results revealed thrombocytopenia, anemia, and mild coagulopathy. A giant hemangioma of theliver was the cause of her symptoms and signs, and was too large for surgical treatment. Therefore, we performed two sessions oftranscatheter hepatic arterial embolization (TAE). The patient has been doing well without fever for 1 year following the secondTAE procedure. Surgical resection and enucleation are the traditional treatments of choice for symptomatic giant hemangioma ofthe liver. However, the signs and symptoms of giant hemangioma of the liver improved by TAE in the present case. We herein reporta case of complicated giant hemangioma of the liver that was partially treated by TAE and conservative management.
Abstract
Hemangioma of the liver is usually asymptomatic and incidentally discovered. However, giant hemangioma of the liver may besymptomatic, which is an indication for treatment. A 31-year-old female was admitted with a fever and 1-month history of a nonproductivecough. Her blood test results revealed thrombocytopenia, anemia, and mild coagulopathy. A giant hemangioma of theliver was the cause of her symptoms and signs, and was too large for surgical treatment. Therefore, we performed two sessions oftranscatheter hepatic arterial embolization (TAE). The patient has been doing well without fever for 1 year following the secondTAE procedure. Surgical resection and enucleation are the traditional treatments of choice for symptomatic giant hemangioma ofthe liver. However, the signs and symptoms of giant hemangioma of the liver improved by TAE in the present case. We herein reporta case of complicated giant hemangioma of the liver that was partially treated by TAE and conservative management.
