AI Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed treatment outcomes for 7 patients with large hepatic hemangiomas, finding that 6 had a diagnosis before surgery.
- In 4 cases, liver resection was performed; however, one patient was deemed inoperable due to cancerous changes, another was too old, and a third had disease spread.
- The authors recommend surgery for young and middle-aged patients with large hemangiomas, particularly if there are signs of rapid growth or destruction, but advise against it for small hemangiomas, older patients, or those involving major vascular structures.
Article Abstract
The results of treatment of 7 patients with extensive hepatic hemangiomas are analysed. In 6 patients the diagnosis was established before the operation. The liver was resected in 4 patients. One patients with malignant degeneration of the hemangioma was inoperable, in another the hemangioma was not removed because of his old age, and still in another because the process had spread. The authors conclude that in large hemangiomas of the liver in young and middle-aged patients resection of the organ is indicated, especially if there is a destruction cavity and a rapid growth of hemangioma. The operation is not indicated in capillary, surface hemangiomas of a small size, old age of the patient, extension of the process in to the main vascular structures of the other hepatic lobe.
