Giant hepatic hemangioma case report: When is it time for surgery?

Abstract: We describe a case of a 30-year-old man who complained intermitted pain in right abdominal flank; a large cavernoumatos hemangioma – up to 6 cm in size – was revealed in the fifth hepatic segment using Ultrasonography and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). Indications for treatment – based on imaging features and clinical data – are briefly discussed in our report, providing also a review of existing literature.

“…As for the term “giant hemangioma”, there is no generally accepted definition in the literature. According to some authors, tumors more than 4–5 cm in diameter [15] , [16] are considered giant, according to others − more than 10 cm [1] . Hemangiomas of small sizes are usually found by chance, have asymptomatic course and do not require treatment, only dynamic follow-up is enough [9] .…”

“…Existe evidencia que sugiere el rol de la terapia hormonal con estrógenos y el embarazo, en el incremento del diámetro del tamaño de los HH por de proliferación, migración y formación de estructuras similares a capilares de las células endoteliales vasculares. Esto posiblemente explique la alta incidencia de HH y HHG en mujeres (Glinkova et al, 2004;Pencovich et al, 2019;Amico et al, 2020;Jia, et al, 2022).…”

“…Los hemangiomas típicos o hemangiomas capilares varían de unos pocos mm a 3 cm, no aumentan de tamaño con el tiempo y, por lo tanto, es poco probable que generen sintomatología futura (Miura et al, 2014). Por otra parte, el HH cavernoso es el tipo más común (Yang et al, 2021); suelen ser solitarios, pero se pueden presentar como múltiples lesiones bilaterales hasta en el 40 % de los casos (Amico et al, 2020). Además, los HH representan una proporción de las lesiones agrupadas bajo el concepto de "incidentalomas hepáticos", llamados así porque se diagnostican de manera incidental, en estudios de imágenes realizados como exámenes de rutina o por razones distintas a la evaluación de una masa hepática (Bajenaru et al, 2015).…”

“…Trong 3 phương pháp điều trị thì nhóm cắt u có độ tuổi trẻ nhất, nhóm điều trị bằng RFA có tuổi nhiều hơn 1 chút và nhóm điều trị bằng TAE có độ tuổi trung bình cao nhất là 64,8 ± 23,3 [7]. Những lựa chọn điều trị này cũng là dễ hiểu vì theo các hướng dẫn điều trị nên áp dụng các phương pháp điều trị triệt căn cho bệnh nhân lứa tuổi trẻ [8].…”
