Abstract

Hepatic haemangioma is a congenital vascular malformation, considered the most common benign mesenchymal hepatic tumour. Spontaneous or traumatic rupture is the most severe complication. In case of rupture, surgical resection and enucleation, as a single therapy or after trans-arterial embolization are considered the treatments of choice. We report a case of spontaneous rupture of a hepatic haemangioma with massive hemoperitoneum successfully treated by percutaneous hepatic trans-arterial embolization and pelvic drainage alone.
