Hepatic Hemangioma
The hepatic hemangioma is a benign tumor of the liver formed by a tangle of blood vessels. It is one of the most common noncancerous findings in this organ and, in most cases, produces no discomfort.
How it is discovered: it is usually detected incidentally on imaging studies performed for other reasons; it rarely causes symptoms, though large ones can cause a feeling of heaviness in the upper right part of the abdomen.
Origin: it is related to an alteration in the formation of the liver's blood vessels.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist assesses the health of the liver, while the angiologist and the vascular surgeon may step in depending on the characteristics of the lesion. If you are told about this finding, it is reasonable to discuss it with a professional to determine the proper follow-up.
