Background: Hepatic cavernous hemangioma is the most common type of benign liver tumor. Although ruptures and hemorrhages of hepatic hemangioma are rare complications, they are associated with high mortality. Most practitioners only pay more attention to abdominal hemorrhages caused by the rupture of hepatic hemangiomas. However, spontaneous intracapsular hemorrhages can often be neglected and poorly understood.
Case Presentation: A 65-year-old man was referred to our institution with right upper quadrant pain, which had occurred suddenly and without a history of recent trauma. The blood test results were normal. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen showed a cystic mass in the right liver lobe. Considering the possibility of hepatic cystadenoma with hemorrhage, the patient underwent a right hepatic lobectomy. The pathological findings unexpectedly revealed intratumoral hemorrhage of hepatic hemangioma. The patient recovered well and was discharged eight days after surgery.
Conclusions: Intracapsular hemorrhage of hepatic cavernous hemangioma is challenging to diagnose and has a high potential risk of rupture. MRI is beneficial for diagnosing subacute internal hemorrhage cases, and it is recommended to undergo surgery for patients with a definitive diagnosis.

Background: Chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the portal vein is one of the main causes of portal hypertension, which may result in life-threatening complications often managed by interventional radiology (IR). The aim of this study is to report the innovative experience with percutaneous revascularization therapy in the management of portal vein CTO in paediatric and adult patients.
Materials And Methods: From January 2020 to December 2023 consecutive paediatric and adult patients with severe portal hypertension resulting from portal vein CTO who underwent attempts at percutaneous recanalization were retrospectively reviewed.

Binzhou Medical University Hospital, Binzhou, China.
Article Synopsis
- Adult diffuse hepatic hemangiomatosis (DHH) is a very rare condition, and this case is the largest reported instance involving both liver lobes with no extrahepatic issues.
- A 51-year-old man was treated for symptoms like abdominal swelling and difficulty breathing, leading to the discovery of a massive liver lesion determined to be 35.1 × 32.1 × 14.1 cm through imaging and biopsy.
- The case provides valuable insights into DHH's clinical presentation and imaging characteristics, aiding in understanding this uncommon disease and assisting in the patient's ongoing care and potential liver transplant evaluation.

Article Synopsis
- End-stage hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (AE) can lead to complications like cavernous transformation of the portal vein (CTPV), making ex vivo liver resection and autotransplantation (ELRA) a novel treatment option.* -
- A case study of a 31-year-old woman showed that after undergoing ELRA, she developed early postoperative portal vein stenosis, which was successfully treated with stenting and anticoagulation therapy.* -
- The study suggests that ELRA is a promising treatment for patients with AE and CTPV, emphasizing the importance of portal vein reconstruction and highlighting interventional therapy for managing complications to prevent liver failure.*
