Case Report: Unusual presentation of concomitant gastric outlet obstruction and jaundice complicating giant hepatic angioma

Abstract

Hemangioma is the most common benign tumor affecting the liver.  The vast majority of liver hemangiomas (LH) are less than 30 mm in diameter, asymptomatic, and are most often identified incidentally during radiological investigations for other reasons. Giant LH greater than 50 mm can lead to the development of symptoms and complications that require prompt surgical intervention. Herein, we report the case of a 58-year-old man who presented with gastric outlet obstruction and obstructive jaundice as a result of a giant hepatic hemangioma that was complicated with fatal spontaneous rupture.
