ABSTRACT
Objective To summrize the effects of various treatment methods,including operation,transcatheter arterial embolization(TAE),and percutaneous ethanol injection(PEI) on hepatic cavernous hemangioma(HCH),in order to select an optimal therapy strategy for HCH.MethodsClinic data of 47 patients with 58 hepatic hemangiomas treated in our hospital in recent 10 years were analyzed retrospectively.Results There were 26 males and 21 females with mean age 42?2 5 years(10~72 years old)in this series.The diameters of these lesions were 3~21 5cm(mean diameter 8 5?1 8cm).Of them,obvious symptoms appeared in 39 patients,malignancy could not excluded in 6,and the size of HCH increased rapidly in 2.Operations were performed in 40 patients,including 2 patients failed to PEI;TAE was conducted in 7cases.There was no mortality or major morbidity occurred in the operative patients,except right pleual effusion in one case and subdiaphragmatic fluid collections in another case(2/40).Neither is mortality nor morbidity seen in the TAE treated case.Conclusions Operation is an effective procedure for HCH.But for more diffuse lesions or lesions located in special region,TAE is a more favorable alterative selection.Because PEI has risk of hemorrhage and hardener injection under ultrasonography guide has uncertain outcome,so it should be chosen cautiously.
