title: [Liver hemangioma. I. Diagnosis, spontaneous course, complications].
abstract: Hemangioma is the most frequent benign tumor of the liver. Clinical signs range from complete absence of any complaints to the life threatening complication of hemorrhage. Ultrasound, computed tomography, angiography, scintigraphy and magnetic resonance tomography are appropriate diagnostic tools. The spontaneous course depends on diameter and localization of the tumor; the majority of complications are documented for hemangiomas of more than 5 cm in diameter and superficial position.
