title: [Giant cavernous hemangiomas of the caudal lobe. Clinical and therapeutically considerations].
abstract: The authors present two cases of giant hepatic cavernous hemangiomas with rare topography--caudate lobe. The article debates at length the natural evolution of disease, the diagnosis and the treatment. It give emphasis to the fact that, at present, we are witnessing the limitation of surgical indications far these benign vascular tumors. On the other hand, when operation is indicated, the authors prefer tumorectomy by enucleating or enucleoresection (which are limited) instead of major hepatic resections.
