Multinodular Hepatic Hemangiomatosis treatment in Mérida

Multinodular hepatic hemangiomatosis is a condition in which multiple clusters of blood vessels form, generally benign, spread throughout the liver tissue.

Common features: In many cases it causes no discomfort and is found incidentally on imaging studies; when the lesions are large or numerous they may cause a feeling of heaviness or discomfort in the upper part of the abdomen.

When to see a doctor? An evaluation is advisable when persistent abdominal discomfort appears or when a study reveals these lesions and their nature needs to be clarified.

Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist evaluates the liver lesions, and depending on the case the vascular surgeon or, in children, the pediatric surgeon may take part. A professional review helps define the most appropriate follow-up.
