How many people get hepatic hemangiomas?

Patients with hepatic hemangioma are still relatively common, and the incidence of hepatic hemangioma ranges from 0.4% to 20% in the general population. It usually has no obvious symptoms and is discovered by chance during physical examination. Hepatic hemangioma is the most common primary benign tumor of the liver, which is usually asymptomatic and can sometimes manifest as epigastric discomfort and abdominal mass. The tumors are usually small, solitary and less than 2 cm in diameter. hepatic hemangiomas can occur at any age, but are more common in women between 30 and 50 years of age. There are many causes of hepatic hemangiomas, including congenital factors, abnormal hormone levels in the body, and so on. Factors that cause estrogen abnormalities, such as pregnancy and oral contraceptives, are also likely to trigger hepatic hemangiomas. After the diagnosis of hepatic hemangioma, if the tumor is small, it can be treated conservatively with regular checkups; if the tumor is larger than 5cm and combined with abdominal distension, abdominal pain and other symptoms, it is recommended to have it removed surgically.
