Abstract
Hepatic hemangiomas are the most frequently seen
benign liver mass. However, exophytic hepatic hemangiomas, particularly
pedunculated ones are very rare. They have various appearances that make the
diagnosis difficult. We report a pedunculated hemangioma case which was
misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal stromal tumor on computerized tomography scan.
Magnetic resonance imaging revealed that the tumor was a hepatic hemangioma
with a long peduncle originating from the right edge of the liver, extending
into perigastric area. Hepatic hemangioma with a long peduncle can be mistaken
with other abdominal masses. Remembering this entity and knowing its imaging
characteristics are the keys to diagnosis.
