Hemangiomas are the most common liver tumor and are often found incidentally during radiographic screening for other conditions.
Hemangiomas are benign collections of disorganized vascular channels and if asymptomatic do not require follow-up. Characteristic radiographic computed tomography findings are peripheral nodular enhancement with delayed centripetal enhancement.
Hemangiomas with atypical features or that are symptomatic require further work-up and consideration for treatment. The bleeding risk of large hemangioms is unknown. However, some experienced liver surgeons may elect to treat large lesions secondary to size and position in the liver parenchyma.
