Abstract

We present a case report of hepatic resection performed laparoscopically for a giant symptomatic hemangioma. The patient was a 50-year-old woman who was diagnosed with a giant hemangioma 20 cm in diameter. As in the case of our patient, laparoscopic resection of hepatic hemangiomas can be performed successfully, even when dealing with giant hemangiomas. However, a thorough preoperative assessment and a structured approach, in our case including preoperative embolization, is crucial for success.
