Hepatic hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors of the liver. They are usually single, small, and asymptomatic. However, giant hepatic hemangiomas have been reported in the past, usually detected as incidental findings. Radionuclide blood pool imaging studies are used to confirm the presence of a hemangioma. This report describes a case of a giant hepatic hemangioma detected using intravenous total-body arteriography, done as a part of radionuclide blood pool hemangioma study. This simple addition to the regular RBC blood pool hemangioma study helps to determine the size of the liver in the early arterial phase and shows obvious increased blood pool activity in the delayed phase. It is also useful in detecting lesions in other parts of the body when present.
肝血管瘤是肝脏最常见的良性肿瘤。它们通常为单个、体积小且无症状。然而，过去曾有巨大肝血管瘤的报道，通常是作为偶然发现被检测到。放射性核素血池成像研究用于证实血管瘤的存在。本报告描述了一例通过静脉全身动脉造影检测到的巨大肝血管瘤病例，该检查是放射性核素血池血管瘤研究的一部分。在常规红细胞血池血管瘤研究中简单增加这一检查有助于在动脉早期确定肝脏大小，并在延迟期显示明显增强的血池活性。当身体其他部位存在病变时，它也有助于检测这些病变。
