| PURPOSE : To find out whether subcapsular hemangioma showed focal bulging of hepatic contour or not and if it
did, to know incidence and correlate it with size.
M ATERIALS and METHODS : From May 1994 to December 1998, we retrospectively analysed 28 hemangiomas of 23
patients which had been diagnosed pathologically, on the base of CT, MRI and Tc 99m-RBC scan. There were 9
men and 14 women with a mean age of 54.3 years( range; 33-80 years).
RESULTS : Thirteen cases(46%) of total 28 hemangiomas showed focal bulging of hepatic contour. Fifteen heman-giomas
were located in the right lobe and 13 in the left lobe. Six cases(40%) of right lobe hemangioma and sev-en
cases(54%) of left lobe hemangioma showed focal bulging of hepatic contour. The diameter of hemangiomas
was ranged 1.5-9.0(mean, 3.8)cm. Eleven cases of 14 hemangiomas below 3cm showed no focal bulging of he-patic
contour(79%). Ten cases of 14 hemangiomas above 3cm showed focal bulging of hepatic contour(71%).
CONCLUSION : Subcapsular hemangioma could frequently show focal bulging of hepatic contour and the larger a he-mangioma
was, the more frequently focal bulging of hepatic contour occured. |
