ABSTRACT
Cavernous hemangioma is the most common benign hepatic tumor. Typically, the most common features revealed by ultrasound(US) include its small size(4cm or less in diameter), uniform hyperechogenicity, welldefined margins, position in the subcapsular region of the right lobe of the liver, and some posterior echo enhancement. In addition, follow-up scanning may reveal changes in size, though this is rare. The US findings of hepatic hemangiomas may vary, however, especially when lesions are large and/or multiple. For that reason, differential diagnosis between this condition and hepatocellular carcinomas, metastatic lesions, lymphomas and other tumors is difficult. An understanding of the various sonographic findings of hepatic hemangioma can facilitate the early detection of the condition.
