Sonography and computed tomography in hepatic haemangioma

Acta Medica Scandinavica. Supplementum

Abstract

Seven patients suffering from hepatic haemangioma were investigated by sonography and computed whole-body tomography (CT). In addition, percutaneous fine-needle biopsy was performed in 3 cases. All the patients had typical angiographic features of hepatic haemangioma. Histological confirmation was obtained in five cases. Sonography showed lesions of sonodense and mixed predominant sonolucent features. CT showed typical peripheral post-contrast enhancement. Fine needle biopsy was successful and diagnostic in two cases. No complications occurred with the procedure. Sonography overlooked one tiny lesion, and CT two. It seems that sonographic appearances are not reliable in the diagnosis of hepatic haemangioma, though CT may be diagnostic. In doubtful situations other diagnostic procedures, such as angiography and/or fine-needle biopsy, may be necessary.
