Question
Hello doctor,
As far as I know, liver hemangioma usually does not grow, but why does mine develop. I have a liver hemangioma that is only 4 months old and has grown 13mm. Doctor, can you tell me how to treat liver hemangioma?

Hello,
With the question “How to treat liver hemangioma? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Liver hemangiomas are mostly benign and periodic monitoring is sufficient. Some cases need surgery, such as large liver hemangioma, causing clinical manifestations such as right upper quadrant pain or compression of many healthy liver parenchyma. Therefore, your case should be periodically monitored, if the tumor grows larger, presses a lot of pain, you can go to the Oncology center for examination and treatment advice.
If you still have questions about liver hemangiomas, you can go to a 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!
