[Diffuse hepatic hemangiomatosis--case report]

Hemangiomatosis of the liver is growing in the last decades, because of the abdominal imaging progresses: brain CT scan, MRI. In the presented case, the onset was with symptoms and biochemical disorders characteristic for acute viral hepatitis, with negative serological markers for the A and B hepatitis viruses. The persistence of the clinical symptoms and of the hepatic and biliary retention tests, determined the abdominal echography; which orient the diagnosis to vascular tumour with liver metastasis. Intraoperatively was found: diffuse hemangiomatosis of the liver. The patient didn't benefit from liver transplantation and died due to subfulminant hepatic failure.
