Hepatic hemangioma presenting as a large cystic tumor

摘要

A 62-year-old female chronic hepatitis B patient was referred to our clinic after an incidental cystic tumor in her liver was found on abdominal ultrasound. Her serum alanine aminotransferase level was 31 U/L and the hepatitis B virus DNA titer was 1,900 IU/mL. An abdominal ultrasound revealed a hypoechoic cystic tumor measuring 8.2 × 7.2 cm in the lateral lobe of the liver. A computed tomography (CT) scan showed a large exophytic cyst in the lateral margin in the left lobe (Fig. 1A1C). A unilocular cyst with multifocal rim calcifications and a thin intracystic septum was observed (Fig. 1D).
