| Abstract | Abstract Hepatic hemangiomas are the most common benign mesenchymal tumors of the liver. The majority of hepatic hemangiomas are asymptomatic, most often being discovered incidentally during imaging investigations. Hence, there is no specific treatment in small and asymptomatic hemangiomas. However, minority of hepatic hemangiomas can cause symptoms and complications depending on size. Because these hemangiomas are commonly found, therefore physicians should have knowledge about them, especially surgeons who are responsible for the surgical management of the patients. This article reports a case of hepatic hemangioma complicated by Bornman-Terblanche-Blumgart syndrome (fever, abdominal pain and intra-tumoral hemorrhage) which are rare complications. The patient was managed by surgical hepatic resection. The symptoms fully resolved at one month after surgery. |
