Atypical hepatic haemangiomas

Hepatic haemangioma is the most common benign liver lesion in the general population. It often exhibits a uniform pattern of characteristics, thus being called “typical.” However, a certain number of hepatic haemangiomas have special or uncommon characteristics and are termed “atypical.” The majority of patients are asymptomatic. Its differential diagnosis is critical, and its differentiation from other aetiological possibilities can be challenging, especially in cases of atypical haemangiomas, which may lead to confusion or even misleading diagnoses. We report on a 55-year-old patient with atypical multiple hepatic haemangiomas mimicking metastasis or echinococcus infection.
