Summary
Giant liver hemangiomas, though rare, can cause symptoms requiring treatment. Liver resection is a safe and effective surgical option, offering a curative solution with no recurrence observed in a 3-year follow-up.
Area of Science:
- Hepatobiliary Surgery
- Surgical Oncology
- Gastroenterology
Background:
- Liver hemangiomas are common benign vascular tumors.
- Giant liver hemangiomas are rare and may necessitate intervention due to symptoms.
- Symptomatic giant hemangiomas pose a clinical challenge requiring effective management strategies.
Observation:
- Three cases of symptomatic giant liver hemangiomas were analyzed.
- Patients underwent surgical treatment via liver resection.
- Procedures included left lateral hepatectomy (one case) and right lateral hepatectomy (two cases).
Findings:
- All three patients experienced an uneventful recovery post-surgery.
- No recurrence of the giant liver hemangiomas was noted at the 3-year follow-up.
- Liver resection demonstrated safety and efficacy in treating these large lesions.
Implications:
- Liver resection is confirmed as a safe and effective curative treatment for symptomatic giant liver hemangiomas.
- Surgical intervention, specifically hepatectomy, provides a definitive solution for complex cases.
- This approach offers a favorable long-term prognosis, preventing recurrence.
