Abstract
Cavernous hemangioma is the most common benign tumor of the liver. Most patients are asymptomatic and the tumor is discovered incidentally during diagnostics procedures, at laparotomy or at autopsy. Only 10% of hepatic hemangiomas reach dimensions that need surgical treatment. The role of surgical excision in their treatment has not been well defined. We report a careful examination of our casuistry and at the same time a study of the literature.
