In most cases, liver hemangioma doesn't cause any signs or symptoms.
When a liver hemangioma causes signs and symptoms, they may include:
- Pain in the upper right abdomen
- Feeling full after eating only a small amount of food
- Lack of appetite
- Nausea
- Vomiting
When to see a doctor
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience any persistent signs and symptoms that worry you.
