Cavernous hemangiomas are benign tumors that present a low risk of bleeding when considering their high prevalence. They are frequent in the liver, with a frequency of 5 to 20% in the population. They present an increased risk of rupture when larger than 10 cm and with central necrosis. It is a most common primary liver lesion, and its diagnosis can be made incidentally during nonspecific evaluation of abdominal complaints. It can be diagnosed in all age groups, most frequently in women around 30-50 years of age, and rarely in children over three years of age. About 90% of these lesions are diagnosed in the first six months of life.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
