Question
Hello doctor,
I discovered a hemangioma in my liver during surgery for appendicitis. I went for a CT scan and it was a hemangioma. Now, I went to the doctor to check that I had an atypical liver hemangioma (size 61x69mm) and a positive halo sign. So the doctor told me how to treat female hemangiomas in the liver? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “How are female hemangiomas in the liver treated? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The hypoechoic rim (rim sign) or anechoic halo (halo sign) sign is still commonly used in ultrasound but has not been fully explained and has many different opinions. For follow-up, evaluation needs to find out more information such as history of hepatitis B, C, cirrhosis, CT scan or MRI of the liver with contrast/magnetic contrast. Blood tests to assess liver function, some markers of liver-related cancer (AFP, PIVKA-II, CA 19-9, CEA,...).
If you still have questions about female liver hemangiomas, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
