What Is The Best Way To Determine Hemangioma Of Liver?
I was just diagnosed with atypical giant cavernous hemangioma of the liver. I have lost about 26 pounds in the last two months and feel sick all the time. what is the best way to determine if it s actually a hemangioma or something else. and it isn t atypical hemangioma, what is it most likely to be?

Hi,
Hemangioma is a highly vascular structure which can be made out easily by liver scan by its peculiar enhancement.
If you still want to be sure, you may opt for hepatic angiography which will confirm the diagnosis.
hope this helped.
