| Abstract: |
Quite often hemangiomas of the liver are found accidentally in prophylactic studies or are an accidental finding in operations on another occasion. In most cases, hemangiomas are cavernous, less commonly capillary or mixed. A higher percentage are single than multiple. Despite the proven benignity of the process, the presence of hemangiomas is associated with a risk of rupture and acute bleeding. We present three cases of spontaneous rupture of hepatic hemangiomas and a detailed literature review on the topic, in support of the thesis that hepatic hemangiomas rupture. The clinical - pathological and operative factors of three cases of spontaneous rupture of hepatic hemangioma were prospectively studied. Between 2007 and 2015, 3 women with spontaneous rupture of hepatic hemangioma were operated on in our institution. Two of them are of the subcapsular rupture type, and the third has a spontaneous rupture to the free abdominal cavity and hemoperitoneum. The treatment of patients with symptomatic giant hemangiomas should be modified individually by systematic follow-up or even prophylactic resection in selected cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
