Abstract
Hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors of the liver. They are more common in females. There incidence is 0.4%-20%. More commonly hemangiomas involve right lobe of liver. Most commonly they are incidental findings. There is no evidence of malignant transformation. Small and medium types require no treatment. Size of liver hemangioma is not a formal indication for surgery. Giant hemangioma with symptoms require treatment. Abdominal pain or discomfort are the most common indication for surgery. Enucleation is the preferred surgical procedure. Recurrence after surgery is uncommon. Surgery for hemangioma of liver is less frequently being performed procedure. Thus such a case is discussed in this case report study.
Keywords: Giant hemangioma, Enucleation, Resection.
