CT and MRI of hepatic hemangioma.
Our patient exhibited typical characteristics of giant cavernous hemangioma by CT and MR, and was asymptomatic. We have concluded, therefore, that this did not represent a malignant lesion. In general, however, one must exhibit a reasonable degree of caution in applying this diagnosis, adhere strictly to the criteria described, and recognize the clinical setting of the patient.


METHODS
Giant cavernous hemangioma of the liver.
