Hemangioma of the liver with a size of 33cm x 39cm needs surgery?

Patient's question:

I have a hemangioma on my liver. It wasn't big before, but it has grown very in the past two years, now being as large as 33 centimeters. The doctor suggested that I have surgery to remove it. But is it risky to remove a hemangioma from the liver?

Doctor's answer:

Angiomas are the most common disease. Angiomas can occur in many parts of the body or organs. Hepatic angiomas are the most common disease. Treatment needs to be determined based on the size of the angioma. If it exceeds 5 centimeters, comprehensive treatment methods such as surgery and intervention need to be considered. Surgery carries certain risks. The doctor will provide detailed information before the surgery, but the probability of occurrence is very low, so there is no need to overworry.
