    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To study the methods of interventional treatment of huge hepatic cavernous hemangioma (HCH). METHOD: A total of 14 patients with HCH were treated with lipiodol-ultrafluid (10-15 ml), bleomycin A (PYM 16-32 mg), and gelatin-sponge particles. RESULTS: DSA hepatic arteriography showed multiple vascular lakes in the early arterial phase, so-called "to hang the fruits on the branches", which persisted for a long time. CT scan showed a significant reduction in tumor size in 8 of the 14 patients after the treatment. CONCLUSION: Embolization with lipiodol-ultrafluid, PYM and gelatin sponge particles is one of the best methods for the treatment of HCH.
