Abstract

Hepatic hemangioma is the most common benign liver tumor. Because most hepatic hemangiomas are asymptomatic, they are incidentally discovered during imaging investigations for other conditions. Although they were not found to be clinically meaningful, we report an interesting case of hepatic hemangioma, which was mistaken as intraparenchymal hematoma in the spleen because of its position and shape.
