It is generally accepted that suprahepatic hemangiomas larger than 5 cm in diameter require surgical intervention.
Hemangioma on liver is basically caused by vascular malformation, which is a kind of benign tumor. If the diameter of the tumor is less than 5 cm and does not affect the normal life of the patient after CT or MRI examination, most of the cases can be treated without special treatment due to the slow growth of hemangiomas in general. Observation at any time and regular rechecking will be enough.
If the diameter of hemangioma on the liver is larger than 5 cm, in order to avoid pressure symptoms and liver function abnormality, surgical intervention is generally recommended. This is a minimally invasive surgery with good effect and fast recovery.
If the effect of interventional surgery is poor, surgical resection is recommended.
Patients with hemangioma on the liver should pay attention to avoid strenuous exercise to prevent tumor rupture. Patients are advised to consult their doctors at the hepatobiliary surgery department of the hospital and follow the doctor’s instructions to choose whether to have surgery or not.
