Popis: Liver hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors of the liver with a prevalence of 1%-20% according to autopsy series. They can in some cases reach measurable sized. These giant hemangiomas can have fatal complications such as hemorrhaging, intraperitoneal rupture, mass of effect and Kasabach-Merritt syndrome. We report an adult case in which recent right quadrant pain revealed a liver hemangioma associated with Kasabach-Merritt syndrome.
