Association of Hepatic Hemangiomatosis With Giant Cavernous Hemangioma in the Adult Population: Prevalence, Imaging Appearance, and Relevance

Abstract

Hemangiomatosis is not rare in the liver parenchyma adjacent to a GCH. The presence and extent of hemangiomatosis must be specifically communicated to referring physicians. Surgical candidates have to be carefully selected to avoid complications, such as excessive blood loss and diminished risk of postoperative liver decompensation from apparent overestimation of functional residual volume due to oversight of involved liver areas by hemangiomatosis.
