The authors have examined 80 patients with cavernous hemangiomas. The disease was diagnosed on the basis of an ultrasonic investigation, computed tomography and laparoscopy. Solitary hemangiomas were diagnosed in 78 patients, multiple ones in 2. In 64 patients the size of hemangiomas was more than 5 cm, in 16 patients they were less than 5 cm. Radical resections of the liver were made in 32 patients (59.3%), palliative--in 22 patients (40.7%). Complications after the liver resections took place in 15.5% of the patients, lethality was 6.2%. Complications following the palliative operations were noted in 72.7% of the patients, lethality was 9%.
