Diffuse hepatic hemangiomatosis without extrahepatic lesions is extremely rare in adults. A case of diffuse hepatic hemangiomatosis involving right lobe in a 50-year-old woman was presented. The hemangiomatosis was demonstrated by ultrasonography, computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance image (MRI), and was confirmed histopathologically. Although diffuse hepatic hemangiomatosis is a rare disease in adults, its diagnosis should be considered in patients with diffuse tumor growth in one or both hepatic lobes and distinguished from malignant tumors. The present case is the first documented case of diffuse hepatic hemangiomatosis in an adult in Korea.
成人中无肝外病变的弥漫性肝血管瘤病极为罕见。本文报告一例50岁女性累及右叶的弥漫性肝血管瘤病。通过超声、计算机断层扫描（CT）和磁共振成像（MRI）证实了血管瘤病，并经组织病理学确诊。虽然弥漫性肝血管瘤病在成人中是一种罕见疾病，但对于肝叶一侧或双侧有弥漫性肿瘤生长的患者应考虑其诊断，并与恶性肿瘤相鉴别。本病例是韩国首例有文献记载的成人弥漫性肝血管瘤病病例。
