Hemangioma as such is a hamartoma and it can be present in any part of the body and it is present in the liver itself. Hamartoma is nothing but the presence of an excessive normal tissue in an abnormal area. That is hemagioma is not supposed to be present in the liver and it is present in the normal tissue. If there is hemagioma in the liver and if it is not troubling the patients, then it can get incidentally detected when they are doing some scans for something else. So if the patient has got hemagioma 8 -10 cm and it is not troubling the patient at all, then nothing to be done. If the hemagioma is large and it is protrude outside the stomach, then it is possible that and trauma on the stomach can lead to the rupture of the hemagioma, which can be life threatening to the individual. So before it becomes life threatening for the patient. So it is advisable to get it operated, when it is more than 10 cms in size. If the individual is HAG positive along with hemagioma, they do not require any extra treatment. So just leave it if it is not troubling the individual.
