title: [Imaging of symptomatic giant hemangioma].
abstract: A case of symptomatic giant hemangioma of the liver with fever, anemia, and increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate is reported. Spontaneous hyperdense areas at CT, and high signal-intensity areas at T1-weighted MR images were demonstrated within the hemangioma. Marked hemorrhagic zones demonstrated at pathologic examination may explain these uncommon clinical and imaging features.
