Case Discussion
This case shows the typical features of a hepatic hemangioma in CT and angiography.
In this case, the size of larger hemangioma is 6 x 7.5 x 8 cm. Giant hepatic hemangiomas are defined to be hemangioma > 5 cm.
To prevent spontaneous rupture, this case was treated by transcatheter arterial embolization with a mixture of lipiodol and bleomycin.
