Presentamos e ilustramos dos casos de evolución atípica de hemangiomas hepáticos estudiados con resonancia magnética (RM). En el primer caso, la lesión disminuyó progresivamente de tamaño hasta llegar a la remisión completa y se asoció a una retracción capsular. En el segundo caso, en una paciente que tomaba anticonceptivos orales, la lesión presentó un crecimiento progresivo llegando a doblar su diámetro (AU)
We present and illustrate two cases of atypical evolution of liver hemangiomas studied with magnetic resonance imaging. In the first case, the lesion was associated with capsular retraction and became progressively smaller until it completely disappeared. The second case involved a woman taking birth control pills in whom the lesion grew progressively larger, doubling its diameter (AU)
