Abstract

Anastomosing haemangioma (AH) is a recently described, unusual variant of capillary hemangioma that appears to be unique to the genitourinary system, with a particular proclivity for the kidney. AH is a subtype of capillary haemangioma, which is rarely encountered in clinical practice, particularly in the liver. We herein present the case of a 57‑year‑old woman with an incidental finding on magnetic resonance imaging of a local lesion in the liver, sized 3.3x3.0 cm. The patient underwent hepatectomy with a good postoperative recovery. The histopathological diagnosis was AH of the liver. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of hepatic AH.
