Abstract
Hemangiomas are considered the most common benign liver tumors, have vascular origin and in the vast majority of cases are asymptomatic. Its prevalence is estimated to be 1.4 to 20% in the general population. Objective: To present the case of a 37-year-old patient, who despite having a giant hepatic hemangioma, remained under conservative treatment, without the need for surgical intervention. Case report: Female patient, 37 years old, comes to the service for an MRI after accidentally discovering a liver nodule through an abdominal ultrasound. The patient denied the presence of any type of symptom. The imaging examination revealed a giant hemangioma, measuring 14x8cmx8cm in its longest axis. Conclusion: Even given the situation described, there are no consistent reasons in the literature for performing surgeries with preventive intent. The patient continues to be monitored by a specific team with no surgical proposal to date.
