Hepatic Hemangioma
Dr. Bruno Sagastegui Aguilar
- Case name: LIVER HEMANGIOMA.
- Author's name: Dr. Bruno Sagástegui Aguilar.
- Author's job position: Work center: SONOSCAN Ultrasound Center (Private) and TOMONORTE Diagnostic Imaging Center (Private) Trujillo – PERU.
- Clinical and examination: A 36-year-old female patient, asymptomatic, comes for a check-up. She denies any contributory history. She requests a hepatobiliary ultrasound to rule out fatty liver.
- Ultrasound findings: In the hepatic segment VIII, a solid, slightly heterogeneous, predominantly hyperechoic nodular lesion with somewhat irregular edges measuring 38.7 x 32.1 x 38.5 mm was observed, which exerted a mass effect on the adjacent vascular structures. The color and power Doppler studies did not show intranodular signal uptake. (Image 1 and Videos 1 to 3).
- Diagnosis: The findings are compatible with hepatic hemangioma.
