Abstract

<p>A woman in her 40s visited our hospital in 20XX to seek treatment for chronic hepatitis C and to undergo a thorough evaluation of a liver tumor. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a 35 mm liver mass in segment 2/3. The contrast-enhanced computer tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging with EOB showed enhancement of the tumor from the periphery to the center, leading to a diagnosis of hepatic hemangioma. The tumor remained stable for a while; however, in 20XX+9, it shrank to 27 mm. In 20XX+10, a contrast-enhanced abdominal ultrasound revealed a 7 mm cyst at the site of a previous hepatic hemangioma, and surrounding it, a 14 mm area with poor contrast enhancement and a defect in the Kupffer phase. In 20XX+11, there was a further reduction in the contrast enhancement around the cyst; however, the cyst's diameter remained unchanged. Herein, we report a case of a degenerated hepatic hemangioma with long-term follow-up.</p>
