Question 1

scared.had mri of cervical spine in 2009 and 2010.incidental finding of large hemangioma.no action evet taken.recent back pains.ref.to neurodurgeon.

Accepted Answer

Yes: I agree an expanding hemangioma should be evaluated by a neurosurgeon. Sometimes they can be treated without surgery, but the neurosurgeon should make that call based on the size of the hemangioma and strength of the bone, and whether it is causing pressure on the spine.

Question 2

had a mri without contrast. hemangionoma at t 2. could that be missed as cancer? i have pain there everyday. but i also have cervical stenosis.

Accepted Answer

Unlikely cancer: Hemangioma may have characteristic MRI appearance even without contrasr.

Question 3

had a mri with no contrast that showed hemanginoma at t2. could this be missed as cancer? have pain in that area.however i do have cervical stenosis

Accepted Answer

Neurosurgery: Consult a neurologist or neurosurgeon.  They may want an MRI with and without contrast to more decisively show it's a hemangioma.

Question 4

what are the symptoms of hemangioma of the liver?

Accepted Answer

None: Almost always asymptomatic and nothing to worry about.

Question 5

what are the symptoms of capillary hemangioma?

Accepted Answer

None to possible ble: Usualy there no symptoms but it can bleed if traumatized or become inflammed or black in color. Some peole have multiple lesions which are easily removed.

Question 6

i have a giant liver hemangioma (9cm) that has been growing since 2005. its now causing symptoms (feeling of fullness, slight nausea). is surgery the only treatment option? what is your opinion on embolization or ablation for large liver hemangioma?

Accepted Answer

: Although ablation with embolization may be possible, with the size of the hemangioma noted, it may not succeed.  A consult with an experienced general surgeon should provide guidance, if the symptoms related in your question are truly secondary to the hemangioma.

Question 7

is surgery the best solution for a very large liver hemangioma that gives symptoms such as pain?

Accepted Answer

YES  : Large hepatic hemangiomas of the liver are best managed  surgically. Only when symptomatic . Make sure your surgeon is an experienced hepatic surgeon. Good luck.

Question 8

my wife is a 57-year-old, her mri shows benign hemangioma the vertebral corpus l1 laterally left with an axial diameter of up to 17 mm without symptoms beside general back pain. should she be worried? can she do pilates and low impact exercises?

Accepted Answer

Ask your doctor: What you described sounds like a benign condition, and as such should not interfere with the exercises you describe, BUT not knowing anything else about your wife, can only recommend that you check with her own doc for safety.

Question 9

i have liver hemangioma 6cm on liver that is causing symptoms for 4 years.looking for alternative treatment because i want to avoid surgery. any supplements may be that can shrink it?

Accepted Answer

: No medication or supplements have been shown to help with symptomatic hepatic hemangiomas. Occasionally less invasive methods such as arterial embolization are used in conjunction with surgery, but surgery is still the gold standard if a hepatic hemangioma is significantly symptomatic.

Question 10

i have several hemangiomas on my liver had u/s  and only said small fat infiltration but no mention of  hemangiomas could the fat really ve the hemang?

Accepted Answer

Its possible: U/s may have missed flow through lesions making it seem like fat. Hemangiomas here are benign and should be little cause for concern.
