Is hemangioma in the left lobe of the liver serious?

The liver is one of the most critical organs in the human body. If there is a disease in the liver, it will easily affect the health of the body and also affect normal life. Hemangioma of the left lobe of the liver is a relatively common disease. If the growth position of the hemangioma of the left lobe of the liver is not good, it will cause great harm to the body and even endanger life. It needs timely treatment.

Is hemangioma in the left lobe of the liver serious?

The harm caused by hepatic hemangioma is as serious as its severity. Depends on its growth location, size and tissue composition. If the hepatic hemangioma grows on the face, it will inevitably affect the beauty, and in severe cases it may cause facial deformities; in the neck and throat, it is easy to cause ulcers due to eating, which may endanger the patient's life; in functional parts, such as eyeballs, tongue, fingers, toes, penis, clitoris and joints, it may affect the functions of these parts. If the hepatic hemangioma is huge, no matter where it grows, it will seriously endanger the patient's health. In addition, the hepatic hemangioma may also become infected, ulcerated, bleeding, and even malignant. These will seriously endanger the patient's life, so hepatic hemangioma must be treated.

Complications of hepatic hemangioma include ulcers, bleeding, infection, damage to important organ functions, congestive heart failure, and limb deformities caused by skeletal and musculoskeletal damage. If the hepatic hemangioma invades the cervical spine, nerve root compression symptoms may occur, such as pain, upper limb sensory and movement disorders, etc. Cause hearing impairment.

The most important thing to pay attention to is the problem that causes visual impairment. Visual impairment is a common complication of hepatic hemangioma. Because periorbital hepatic hemangioma can block vision, it can cause amblyopia. Even if vision is not affected, hemangiomas in the upper eyelid can cause astigmatism. Periorbital or intraorbital hepatic hemangiomas can cause axial destruction, astigmatism, and myopia, leading to disuse amblyopia. Disuse amblyopia is one of the common causes of blindness. Therefore, patients should pay more attention to the prevention and treatment of cadre hemangioma.

The most common is bleeding. Because the tumor of hepatic hemangioma is easily ruptured and bleeding due to external influences, as the age increases, the children are active and are most likely to be traumatized and cause severe bleeding, especially those with superficial lesions. Bleeding from hemangioma of the liver cannot be controlled by bandaging or applying pressure like bleeding from other injuries. Ulcerative hepatic hemangiomas have a tendency to bleed spontaneously and can cause bleeding after even the slightest trauma. The current symptoms are relatively mild.

Hepatic hemangioma is less common than capillary hemangioma, cavernous hemangioma, and mixed hemangioma, accounting for about 1.5% of hepatic hemangiomas. It is a hepatic hemangioma containing anastomoses of arterioles and venules, most of which are hepatic hemangiomas formed by single arteriolar and venous fistulas.
