Treatment of Benign Liver Tumor in Hepatic Haemangioma
Hepatic haemangioma is the most common primary liver tumour. While most cases are managed conservatively, a distinct subset presents with features that require active clinical decision-making and a more definitive intervention.
Clinical Scenario
This protocol addresses benign liver tumor specifically in the setting of hepatic haemangioma. Hepatic haemangiomas are the most common primary liver tumours. Complicated, large, or extensive lesions that are not amenable to standard surgical removal represent the cases where treatment escalation becomes relevant.
Treatment Approach
In carefully selected patients with complicated or extensive unresectable hepatic haemangioma, management may involve a major hepatic surgical procedure. The full set of eligibility criteria, procedural considerations, and decision pathway are set out in the structured protocol.
