| description | Background and objective: Liver hemangioma (LH) is the most common
benign tumour of the liver, but its origin is still not clear and not much is
known about a possible familiarity. Caudate lobectomy is the most effective
surgical treatment for benign tumors arisen in segment I. The occurrence of giant
LH within the same liver segments in different members of the same family has
never been described in literature. Herein we report the first two consecutive
laparoscopic caudate lobectomy for familiar giant LH in a father and his
daughter.
Methods: The father showed a lesion in the caudate lobe (CL) suggestive
of LH steadily grown, asymptomatic for 24 years until it has caused abdominal
discomfort and pain (Dmax 89 mm). The daughter showed multiple hepatic
hemangiomas with the biggest one located in the CL compressing the inferior vena
cava (Dmax 88 mm).
Results: Despite the size of the masses, we opted for a pure
laparoscopic approach and a caudate lobectomy was performed in both cases.
Operation time was 140 and 180 min. Patients had an uneventful recovery and a
good outcome after the scheduled follow up exams 6 months after the procedure.
Conclusions: A chance of familiarity transmission for hemangiomas
exists and therefore should be further investigated. Laparoscopic isolated
caudate lobectomy for symptomatic GLH is feasible and safely performed on
selected patients by experienced hepatobiliary surgeons. Prospective randomized
studies on larger populations are needed to assess if this minimally invasive
approach can be proposed as a standard of care for S-I LH. |
