Ruptured hepatic cavernous hemangioma: a case report and literature review* Hemangioma cavernoso hepático roto: relato de caso e revisão da literatura

Hepatic hemangioma is frequently asymptomatic, and bleeding is rare, even in cases of large lesions. The authors report the case of a 31-year-old female patient presenting with acute abdominal pain, whose imaging studies have demonstrated hematoma in the left hepatic lobe associated with hemoperitoneum. The patient was submitted to left hepatectomy, with a final histopathological diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma.
