Enlargement of hepatic hemangioma in successive pregnancies

Abstract: Hemangiomas are the most common benign tumor of the liver and are commonly seen as incidental findings on abdominal imaging. Little is known regarding the natural course and pathogenesis of hepatic hemangiomas during pregnancy. It is believed estrogen may play a role in their growth; however, the precise mechanism remains undefined. Here we describe a patient with hepatic hemangioma enlargement in consecutive pregnancies suggesting a hormonal role in their growth.
