Hello,
With the question "How to treat a liver hemangioma of size 21 x 35mm? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Liver hemangioma is a benign tumor in the liver. Most liver hemangiomas are discovered incidentally during the examination of another disease or detected by laboratory tests. Liver hemangiomas are usually asymptomatic and do not require treatment. In rare cases, the tumor is large (> 4cm), or the tumor is located near the liver capsule causing compression, or there is blood clot inside the tumor and causes symptoms such as: right upper abdominal pain, fullness stomach after eating, vomiting, nausea, loss of appetite, anorexia, feeling full despite eating little. At that time, it is necessary to go to the medical facility to receive advice on monitoring and treatment.
Your case of hemangioma measuring 21 x 35cm, without symptoms, does not need treatment. You should get checked every 6 months or when you have abnormal symptoms mentioned above.
If you still have questions about the treatment of liver hemangiomas, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
