This case report describes the successful surgical removal of a giant hemangioma in a 41-year-old female with hepatitis B. The patient came with stomach distension, right upper quadrant, and right lumbar region pain. Imaging studies showed a mass measuring 12x7.6x11 cm emerging from the left lobe of the liver, causing compression of surrounding structures. The patient has undergone a laparotomy with successful anatomical resection of the hemangioma. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on the fifth postoperative day. This case highlights the significance of considering surgery for symptomatic giant hemangiomas and normal follow-up to screen for recurrence and aims to present the successful surgical management of a giant hemangioma.
