Efficient Ways To Treat Liver Hemangioma

A liver hemangioma is a type of noncancerous (benign) tumor made of clusters of abnormal blood vessels. Small hemangiomas usually require no treatment and produce no symptoms. In fact, patients with small liver hemangiomas are often unaware of them until the tumors are detected incidentally during tests for other conditions. Doctors estimate between one to five percent of Americans may have small hemangiomas on their livers. Symptoms usually occur with tumors larger than four centimeters (one and a half inches), and typically include abdominal pain and bloating, though occasionally, nausea and loss of appetite may be present.
