The liver

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.
