DEFINITION<\/h2>\n
Liver hemangioma (he-man-jee-O-muh) is a noncancerous (benign) mass that occurs in the liver. A liver hemangioma is made up of a tangle of blood vessels. Liver hemangioma is sometimes called hepatic hemangioma or cavernous hemangioma.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Most cases of liver hemangioma are discovered during a test or procedure for some other condition. Most people who have a liver hemangioma never experience signs and symptoms and don’t need treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

It may be unsettling to know you have a mass in your liver, even if it’s a benign mass. There’s no evidence that an untreated liver hemangioma can lead to liver cancer.<\/div>\n

CAUSES<\/h2>\n
It’s not clear what causes a liver hemangioma to form. Doctors believe liver hemangioma is congenital — meaning that you’re born with it.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Liver hemangioma usually occurs as a single abnormal collection of blood vessels that is less than about 1.5 inches (about 4 centimeters) wide. Occasionally liver hemangiomas can be larger or occur in multiples.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

In most people, liver hemangioma will never grow and never cause any signs and symptoms. But in a small number of people, liver hemangioma will grow to cause complications and require treatment. It’s not clear why this happens.<\/div>\n

SYMPTOMS<\/h2>\n
In most cases, liver hemangioma doesn’t cause any signs or symptoms.<\/div>\n
