Diagnosis and treatment of easily misdiagnosed hepatic sclerosing hemangioma / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Hepatic sclerosing hemangioma (HSH) is a rare benign tumor that is considered fibrosis and hyaline change caused by degenerative changes of cavernous angioma, and changes in pathological features cause the changes in imaging features, making this atypical hemangioma easily misdiagnosed as primary or metastatic malignant tumor. Although there are many studies on the imaging findings of this disease, it is still difficult to diagnose and most patients underwent resection since it is misdiagnosed as malignant tumor. There is still a low rate of confirmed diagnosis before surgery. This article elaborates on the etiology, clinical manifestations and pathological features, imaging findings, diagnosis, and treatment of HSH, in order to provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
