| Popis: | Little is known concerning causal factors associated with the size and echogenicity of hepatic hemangiomas. The aim of the present study was to investigate the associations between tumor size and echo pattern and coagulation factors, and to elucidate the growth pattern of hemangiomas. In 214 consecutive patients with hepatic hemangiomas, ultrasonography was performed to determine total tumor number, size, echogenicity and location, and serum laboratory tests for liver function and coagulation factors were carried out. The ultrasonographic appearance of hemangiomas was homogeneous in 75.7% of cases and mixed in 24.3% of cases. A mixed echo pattern was seen in 1 out of 145 masses (0.7%) with a diameter 40 mm.
