Characteristic 2D ultrasound appearance is that of a very well defined lesion, with sizes of 2–3 cm or less, showing increased echogenity and, when located in contact with the diaphragm, a "mirror image" phenomenon can be seen. When palpating the liver with the transducer the hemangioma is compressible sending reverberations backwards.
A cavernous liver hemangioma or hepatic hemangioma is a benign tumor of the liver composed of large vascular spaces lined by monolayer hepatic endothelial cells. It is the most common benign liver tumour, and is usually asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally on radiological imaging or during laparotomy for other intra-abdominal issues.
Cavernous hemangiomas (also called hepatic hemangioma or liver hemangioma) are the most common type of benign liver tumor, found in 3%– 10% of people. [2] They are made up of blood clusters that are surrounded by endothelial cells. [5] These hemangiomas get their blood supply from the hepatic artery and its branches. [5]
A cavernous liver hemangioma or hepatic hemangioma is a benign tumour of the liver composed of hepatic endothelial cells. It is the most common liver tumour, and is usually asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally on radiological imaging. Liver hemangiomas are thought to be congenital in origin. [10]
Cavernous hemangiomas are erroneously called the most common benign tumors of the liver. [14] Usually one malformation exists, but multiple lesions can occur in the left or right lobe of the liver in 40% of patients. [3] Their sizes can range from a few millimeters to 20 centimetres. Those over 5 cm are often referred to as giant hemangiomas. [3]

They also detected a hemangioma, which is a benign growth filled with blood and blood vessels, in the T10 vertebrae of my thoracic spine. These typically won’t cause pain or grow, so because I ...
Ultrasound of malformed vessels within the fibrous scar of focal nodular hyperplasia. Liver tumor types by relative incidence in adults in the United States, with focal nodular hyperplasia at right. [3] Focal nodular hyperplasia's most recognizable gross feature is a central stellate scar seen in 60–70% of cases.
