We present a case of a pathologically proven multinodular diffuse hepatic hemangiomatosis (DHH) with no extra-hepatic involvement in a 68-year-old male. Cavernous hemangioma is the most common hepatic tumor. However, DHH, which is characterized by extensive replacement of liver parenchyma with hemangiomatous lesions, has been rarely reported in adults. The etiology and clinical course are not completely understood because of its rareness, although the diagnosis might be suggested by the magnetic resonance imaging findings.
我们报告一例经病理证实的多结节性弥漫性肝血管瘤病(DHH),患者为一名68岁男性,无肝外受累情况。海绵状血管瘤是最常见的肝脏肿瘤。然而,以肝实质被血管瘤性病变广泛取代为特征的DHH在成人中鲜有报道。由于其罕见性,病因和临床过程尚未完全明确,尽管磁共振成像结果可能提示诊断。
