Cavernous malformation or cavernous hemangioma: an appropriate term to define liver hemangioma.

摘要

Sir,We read with interest the article by Caseiro-Alves and colleagues in the June 2007 issue of European Radiology [1]• We appreciated the authors' work to provide an overview of the range of appearances of hemangiomas, explored with ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Caseiro-Alves and colleagues [1] classified liver hemangioma (LH) as small (capillary) or large, with cavernous vascular spaces that may show thrombosis, calcifications, and hyalinization.
