Hello,
With the question “How is liver hemangioma measuring 21x35mm treated? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Intrahepatic hemangioma is a condition in which the network of blood vessels in the liver or on the liver surface is tangled, there may be one or more tumors, with the size usually very small ( < 5cm), however, in some cases the tumor can still grow larger.
This is a benign tumor in the liver, often without symptoms and there is no evidence that the tumor will progress to cancer. When the tumor is large, it is likely to cause some symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting. Hemangiomas in the liver can occur in healthy people. Laboratory tests to diagnose hemangiomas such as abdominal ultrasound, computed tomography and liver MRI.
Your case size is small, if there are no symptoms, you can monitor and check periodically on abdominal ultrasound every 6-12 months. If the size of the hemangioma is large, it will be considered to treat the hemangioma such as blocking blood flow to the tumor, surgical removal of the tumor.
If you still have questions about a liver hemangioma measuring 21x35mm, 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.
