Abstract

Introduction. Most patients with liver hemangiomas are unrecognized, when symptoms occur it is usually due to the size of the hemangioma. Hemangioma of the liver are benign tumors which affects women more often. Surgical indications for liver resection remain unclear. Case outline. We present a patient with a giant hemangioma of the left liver lobe that was misdiagnosed in a primary care unit. The patient underwent resection of the left liver lobe and fully recovered after several days. Conclusion. Symptoms, size, and risk of rupture should be considered when decision for surgery is made. Linear stapler can be useful especially when left and middle hepatic vein have common trunk.
