Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling discomfort in my heart. Although I take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Could you please explain the difference between a hepatic hemangioma and a hepatic hemangiosarcoma?Doctor's answer:
Hello, hepatic hemangioma and hepatic angiosarcoma are two different diseases. Hepatic hemangioma occurs when blood vessels become inflamed, and this inflammation has little impact on the body. However, if the hemangioma shrinks, it can cause bleeding. Hepatic angiosarcoma is a tumor, although it is benign, it can become malignant. Once discovered, immediate surgery is necessary for treatment. Without surgery, the consequences could be very severe.
