[Angiomatosis of the liver].
Cavernous haemangioma of the liver is the most frequently observed benign hepatic tumour. Polyangiomatosis is a great rarity, and in view of the similarity to metastatic tumours, it is a serious diagnostic problem. In the paper three cases are described of polyangiomatosis of the liver diagnosed on the basis of abdominal ultrasonography. Final diagnosis was made analysing USG, CT, scintigraphy with labelled erythrocytes, and laparoscopy. In all described cases, despite significant enlargement of the liver containing multiple hemangiomas, no features indicating liver damage were found in the laboratory investigations. This seems to be an important diagnostic indicator in the diagnosis of this disease.
