What is Liver Hemangioma
A liver hemangioma is a non-cancerous (benign) growth made of tangled blood vessels inside the liver.
- It is the most common benign liver tumor and usually does not cause serious problems.
- Many times, people don’t even know they have it — it’s often found by accident during an ultrasound or CT scan done for some other reason.
In simple words: It’s like a small bundle of extra blood vessels sitting quietly in the liver.
Causes / Risk Factors
The exact cause is not clear, but some factors increase chances:
- Congenital (by birth): many people are born with it.
- Hormonal influence: more common in women, especially during pregnancy or with estrogen therapy.
- Age: usually found between ages 30–50.
- Family history: sometimes runs in families.
Symptoms
Most people have no symptoms. But if the hemangioma grows larger, possible complaints include:
- Pain or discomfort in the upper right abdomen
- Feeling of fullness after small meals
- Nausea or bloating
- Rarely, if very large → it may press on nearby organs and cause more discomfort
