Abstract

Hepatic hemangioma is the most common hepatic tumor with a prevalence of approximately 3%. It is typically supplied by the hepatic artery as evident from findings of abdominal angiography, contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS), contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT), and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. However, few cases of hepatic hemangioma supplied by the portal vein have been reported. In this paper, we report a rare case of hepatic hemangioma supplied by the portal vein as shown on CEUS and CT arterioportography.
