Treatment of multiple cavernous hemangiomas of the liver may choose observation or surgery according to the situation.
1. Follow-up observation: Generally speaking, patients with small and asymptomatic hepatic cavernous hemangioma do not need to be treated, and ultrasonography can be done every 6~12 months to dynamically observe the changes of the tumor.
2. Surgery: The most effective way to treat hepatic cavernous hemangioma is surgical resection. If the patient’s symptoms are obvious and affect normal life and work, or the tumor is large and has the risk of rupture, it should be surgically resected. If multiple tumors are widely distributed in the left and right hemihepatic regions, hepatic artery ligation is feasible when the tumor cannot be surgically removed.
Hepatic cavernous hemangioma may cause abdominal discomfort, abdominal distension, abdominal pain and other symptoms due to compression of the stomach, duodenum and other organs, and may also rupture due to tumor rupture and hemorrhage, which may be life-threatening. Therefore, patients with multiple cavernous hemangiomas of the liver should choose the best treatment under the guidance of professional physicians.
