Surgical treatment of cavernous haemangiomas of the liver

Abstract

Cavernous haemangiomas of the liver were surgically treated in 36 women and 14 men over a 10-year period. The tumours were solitary in 42 cases and multiple in 8. Locations were the right lobe in 39 cases, the left one in 5 and both lobes in 6. The size of the tumours ranged from 0.4 to 14 cm in diameter. Enucleation of tumours was carried out in 29 cases, an atypical liver resection in 19 cases, anatomical lobectomy in 2 cases and a right trisegmentectomy in 1 case. There was no mortality. Morbidity rate seems to be lower in patients who underwent enucleation. The authors indicate the importance of enucleation for removal of liver haemangiomas of various sizes.

Hydatid Disease of the Liver and Associated Hepatocellular Carcinoma

“…Echinococcosis can be found worldwide, but it occurs mostly in tropical and subtropical regions, and most of these infections in human beings are caused by E granulosus transmitted by domestic animals. [1][2][3] Our patient never traveled to any tropical areas, however, she had contact with cats and dogs for years before her death. The simultaneous occurrence of echinococcosis disease and hepatocellular carcinoma is quite rare.…”

Symptomatic Giant Cavernous Haemangioma of the Liver: Is Enucleation a Safe Method?
