A member asked:
Is there usually abdominal pain with hepatic hemangiomas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very rarely: Hemangiomas are benign tumors consisting of small blood vessels. They usually do not cause any pain unless they are very large (> 6 cm), in which case they are prone to rupture. They have a very characteristic appearance on ct scan; biopsy is not indicated due to the risk of bleeding from these tumors.
