Giant cavernous hemangioma of the liver: atypical CT and MR findings

Abstract: The CT and MR appearance of giant cavernous hemangiomas can be confusing, and some atypical radiographic findings have been described. We report the CT and MR features of a giant cavernous hemangioma of the liver with atypical presentation. CT showed a large hypodense geographical lesion involving the majority of the liver and multiple scattered peripheral lesions. The T2-weighted MR images revealed a huge hyperintense lesion with multiple satellite nodules.

“…Other [patients develop DIC spontaneously. Hepatic hemangiomata have been so excessive, in association with DIC, that transplant has been performed in some instances (98). Disseminated intravascular coagulation can often be controlled with heparin or low-molecular-weight heparin, usually delivered subcutaneously, or antithrombin, c~r~c~ntr~te; however, occasionally local radiation therapy or injections of sclcrosing agents have been reported to be beneficial (4,97,99).…”

“…They can range in size from a few millimetres to greater than 20 cm, and are arbitrarily termed ’giant’ haemangioma when they are larger than 4 cm [20, 21]. Capsular retraction is not a typical feature, and is believed to occur in haemangiomas which undergo fibrous degeneration, although this is not always the case [22].…”
