Definition: Haemangioma is a benign vascular tumour composed of blood vessels.
Pathology: It is characterized by a collection of blood vessels that are usually small and normal in appearance.
Causes: The exact cause is unknown, but it is thought to be related to genetic mutations and exposure to certain chemicals.
Clinical Features:
- Most people are asymptomatic.
- Abdominal pain, liver enlargement, and jaundice are rare symptoms.
- It is often discovered incidentally during imaging studies for other reasons.
Investigations:
- Imaging studies such as USG and CT scan can help diagnose.
Complications:
- Rarely, haemangioma can rupture, leading to bleeding and haemorrhage.
Management:
- Most haemangiomas are managed conservatively.
- Surgery may be necessary in cases of rupture or bleeding.

Definition: FNH is a benign liver tumour composed of normal liver cells.
Pathology: It is characterized by a collection of normal liver cells that are arranged in a nodular pattern.
Causes: The exact cause is unknown, but it is thought to be related to genetic mutations and exposure to certain chemicals.
Clinical Features:
- Most people are asymptomatic.
- Abdominal pain, liver enlargement, and jaundice are rare symptoms.
- It is often discovered incidentally during imaging studies for other reasons.
Investigations:
- Imaging studies such as USG and CT scan can help diagnose.
Complications:
- Rarely, FNH can rupture, leading to bleeding and haemorrhage.
Management:
- Most FNH are managed conservatively.
- Surgery may be necessary in cases of rupture or bleeding.

Definition: Hepatic adenoma is a rare, benign liver tumour composed of liver cells.
Pathology: It is characterized by a collection of liver cells that are arranged in a disorganized pattern.
Causes: The exact cause is unknown, but it is thought to be related to genetic mutations and exposure to certain chemicals.
Clinical Features:
- Most people are asymptomatic.
- Abdominal pain, liver enlargement, and jaundice are rare symptoms.
- It is often discovered incidentally during imaging studies for other reasons.
Investigations:
- Imaging studies such as USG and CT scan can help diagnose.
Complications:
- Rarely, hepatic adenoma can rupture, leading to bleeding and haemorrhage.
Management:
- Most hepatic adenomas are managed conservatively.
- Surgery may be necessary in cases of rupture or bleeding.

Imaging studies such as USG, CT scan, and MRI can help differentiate between benign liver tumours.
USG is useful for detecting small tumours, while CT scan is useful for detecting larger tumours.
MRI is useful for detecting the composition of the tumour and its relationship with surrounding tissues.

Most people with benign liver tumours are asymptomatic.
Abdominal pain, liver enlargement, and jaundice are rare symptoms.
The tumours are often discovered incidentally during imaging studies for other reasons.

Imaging studies such as USG, CT scan, and MRI can help diagnose benign liver tumours.
Blood tests can help rule out liver disease.
