Treatment of haemangioma of the liver
Haemangioma of the liver is a benign neoplasm arising from an embryonic disturbance in the formation of the vascular system. It can develop in one or both lobes of the organ, reaching sizes up to 10 cm.
The neoplasm is detected at birth or is formed during the first year of life. It is also diagnosed in adulthood and old age. Possible causes of its appearance include sudden growth in childhood, infections, chronic diseases, and abnormalities in the mother during pregnancy. However, the exact causes are not fully understood.
