CT confirmed two hypoattenuating hepatic masses:
- a small and round one, located in hepatic segment VIII
- another one, larger and with lobulated margins, located in segments V and VI.
Both have progressive enhancement through the contrasted phases, showing a typical globular and centripetal pattern that completed with homogenisation in the delayed phase.
Case Discussion
Most hemangiomas measure less than 4 cm in diameter. Giant hemangiomas have a variable definition with cutoffs ranging from 4 to 10 cm, depending on the author.
The diagnosis was presumed based on typical CT and ultrasound features.
