What is causing the right-sided distension and pain in a liver hemangioma?
Patients with hepatic hemangioma primarily experience discomfort and pain in the upper right abdomen. Hepatic hemangioma is a benign tumor, but there is a possibility of rupture and hemorrhage, leading to hemorrhagic shock. Therefore, patients with symptomatic hepatic hemangioma should be treated promptly to prevent complications. For patients with hepatic hemangioma who experience discomfort and pain in the upper right abdomen and liver area, early surgical intervention is advised. The primary approach for surgery is interventional surgery, which can achieve better therapeutic effects. Additionally, patients with asymptomatic hepatic hemangioma still require regular follow-up with ultrasound to monitor any changes in the size of the tumor.
