Hepatic hemangioma disappears spontaneously after several years

  Hepatic hemangiomas do not usually disappear on their own and may only increase in size.  Hemangioma of the liver is a benign tumor of the liver. Disappearance is most often seen when there are missed examinations, such as ultrasound examination of hemangioma of the liver, which results in changes in the echogenicity of the hemangioma due to changes in blood flow within the hemangioma. If the echogenicity of the hemangioma is consistent with the echogenicity of the liver parenchyma, it is possible that the hemangioma may not be seen during a particular examination by ultrasound. It is recommended that a different imaging modality be performed, such as MRI plain or CT plain with enhancement. In addition, it is possible that the disease itself is not a hemangioma, but a fatty infiltrative or inflammatory change in the liver, due to an error in judgment, and further comparative analysis with previous imaging data is recommended.  The growth rate of hepatic hemangioma is relatively slow. If the growth rate becomes faster or other changes occur, patients are advised to go to a regular hospital for hepatobiliary surgery for examination and treatment in a timely manner.
