Hepatic hemangioma Symptoms and Complication

Symptoms of Hepatic hemangioma (liver hemangioma) include:
1. A small number of hemangioma is asymptomatic, larger hemangiomas can have liver pain.

2. The small blood vessels tumor without signs, large hemangioma, may reach a mass in right upper quadrant, hepatomegaly.

3. Liver large, mass and pressure symptoms due to the tumor aggrandizement. Diagnosis of Hepatic hemangioma primarily is on the basis of B ultrasonic, CT, radionuclide scan and hepatic arteriography. Smaller hemangioma and treatment of asymptomatic persons do not have to be dynamic observation; there is oppression symptoms may continue to opt for partial liver resection. Hemangioma for a single, more than four centimeters in diameter. Hepatic hemangioma often accidental B-check found that the size and shape and are not necessarily the quantity, is often congenital. If you still do not develop without any subjective symptoms, the general non-life-threatening. More than 4 centimeters havesymptoms inlcude abdominal discomfort, hepatomegaly, loss of appetite, dyspepsia.

Complications of Hepatic hemangioma (liver hemangioma) include:
Hepatic hemangioma is generally not a serious complication, but when the tumor when serious bleeding complications. Such as the expansion of tumor rupture of hemangioma (trauma, gross examination, when the urgent delivery of production, such as artificial respiration caused by chest squeezing intraperitoneal bleeding, shock. Spontaneous bleeding, especially vulnerable to misdiagnosis, delayed treatment of a very high mortality rate. Tumor hemorrhage erode intrahepatic bile duct to cause hemobilia. Clinical manifestation is right upper abdominal cramps, fever, jaundice, gastrointestinal bleeding. pedicled tumor torsion can occur, resulting in tumor necrosis, pain, fever, prostration. infant and child can be complicated by thrombocytopenic purpura and fibrinogen deficiency, causing fatal bleeding, hemolysis. caused the main reason for the lack of clotting factor for a great slow tumor blood flow, consumption, destruction of platelets and prothrombin, and under the influence of certain factors induced thrombocytopenia. hemangioma can also be a result of arteriovenous shunt in, increased of returned blood volume, increasing the burden on the heart, and severe congestive heart failure mortality rate as high as 80%.
