A member asked:
I have a 5cm hepatic hemangioma. is surgery necessary to treat it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Asymptomatic hemangiomas do not require surgery. Only if they begin to cause pain, or if they grow large enough to compress other organs are they usually removed. Also if cancer cannot be ruled out they should be treated.
