PRIMARY VASCULAR TUMORS OF THE LIVER

Twenty patients with one or several primary hepatic vascular tumours w ere studied. Three of them had an angiosarcoma and the other seventeen had twenty nine hepatic haemangiomas. From these seventeen patients, six corresponded to a giant cavernomatous haemangioma. Symptoms, diagn ostic methods and treatment of patients with angiosarcoma (3 cases), g iant cavernomatous haemangioma (6 cases) and haemangiomas with size le ss than 4 cm (11 cases) are separately analyzed. We report our series and a critical revision of diagnosis and treatment of these tumours is made.
